The Red Chief, Set

Rating:
Summary: Aboriginal legend delightfully told
Review: I enjoyed "The Red Chief" as a kid and recently re-read it. Way before the coming of white men to Australia, there were many tribes of aborigines. The Gunnedar tribe had waned in power and was in danger of being violently assimilated by other neighboring tribes. The young Red Kangaroo works against the corrupt mismanagement of the tribal elders as he grows up, and eventually becomes the Red Chief and saves the tribe.

Along the way are wonderful descriptions of aboriginal tribal life and how they gathered food, hunted, and made war. The book is an exciting story for teenagers, but is also interesting for adults. I didn't actually buy the set - I have a single book. It is readily available on the used markek ....
