Description

True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey. Ned Kelly - Australia's most potent legend - tells his own story of the very human man behind the mask. A young boy raised in the grinding poverty of colonial Victoria grows into a young man defying the wealth and power of those who would destroy him. He speaks to us not as a mythic hero but as a devoted son, a concerned father and a loyal friend. This international acclaimed novel is written in the idiom of Kelly's famous Jerilderie letter. It is both lament and tribute, a boy's defense of his mother and a father's confiding letter to a daughter he will never meet.' The book has medium general wear but remains most readable.
