This volume is a collaboration between ethnologist Charles P. Mountford and the artist Ainslie Roberts. Mountford spent many years researching the lives of the Australia's Aboriginal peoples. During that time, he collected many of the myths with which the Aborigines explain the creation of the world and all that lives and lies therein. Roberts began to see these myths in terms of color and design, and the result was the series of paintings first exhibited in 1963. This book combines, side-by-side, the written myths with the visuals of colorful paintings. This work also begins with a section that introduces general Aboriginal culture.
