Undoubtedly Australia's most potent legend, this mythic hero and outlaw here is simply a man in full: devoted son, fretful father, and loyal friend, now speaking as if from the grave.Internationally acclaimed, True History of the Kelly Gang, written in the idiom of the famous Jerilderee letter, is a breathless adventure, both a lament and a tribute, a boy's defence of his mother, and a man's confiding letter to a daughter he will never meet.

Rugged and poetic.
Great book, written in a unique voice.
