ISBN: 9057040166
Book Number: 56227
Paper Bark Press 2000 8vo. Hardcover in d/w. 60pp. Fine. / Near Fine d/w.. In the four short narratives collected here, David Malouf explores some of the "untold tales" behind familiar stories - historical, mythic and legendary - while at the same time offering a series of meditations on the role of folktales and story-telling in shaping human lives. In each of these tales, Malouf's own skill as a story-teller is balanced by a poet's feel for language and by a contemplative approach to the ancient craft of narrative invention.
