More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Australian outback, this collection features stories by E. W. Hornung, a British author who lived in Australia for two years. His narratives explore the transformation of Australia from a convict settlement to a gold digger's paradise, while also reflecting on the impact of colonialism on Aboriginal culture. Known for his A. J. Raffles series, Hornung offers a unique perspective on both the wilderness and the social dynamics of late 19th and early 20th century British society.
