Our Stone Age Mystery

is the latest Australiana offering from the facile pen of Australian bushman lon Idriess. Australiana fans won’t be disappointed.

Those who read Idriess’ last book, Our Living Stone Age, will want this one anyhow, because it is a sequel.

Our Living Stone Age dealt with the wild and near wild aboriginal from birth to marriage, and his latest deals with aboriginal life from marriage to death and beyond—“it’s beyond, for the wild aboriginal believes in an after-life just as firmly as he does in earth life”. The two books together give a gossipy account of aboriginal life with Idriess taking frequent time off to reminisce along the by-ways of the bush, from the Kimberleys to the Cape.—-SI.
