Notes

  • Epigraph: 'So much horror in the clear Australian sunlight' Douglas Stewart, Ned Kelly
  • Author's note: 'These Australian stories, written from the middle of the last century to the beginning of this, are really remarkable for their vigour and dynamism. ... Finally, I am glad to have been able to disinter these stories from old books and magazines where many have stayed so long neglected' ... G.N.S.
