Description
A collection of literature anthologies and reference books for Key Stage 3 onwards. This anthology celebrates and explore the particular qualities of the writing of a nation. It is a collection of stories by or about a range of ethnic groups: Aboriginal, European and Asian. Alongside the stories are well-known illustrations produced by a diverse range of Australian artists; together they envoke and interrogate the nature of Australia and the experience of being Australian. A general introduction and a glossary provide students with information about aspects of Australian language and culture as explored in the stories.
