Aboriginal myths and legends / Roland Robinson. (Melbourne ; Sun Books, 1966)

This was one of the first books commissioned for Sun. It appeared as a forthcoming title in “Our crystal ball department” in the dummy of The Permit in 1965.

Roland Robinson was one of the Jindyworobak poets and spent time during World War II living with the Aborigines in the Northern Territory. He believed that the popularising of Aboriginal myths would lead Australians to a more profound knowledge of their land, and a growth of national pride.
