The Dreamtime
The Dreamtime, written by Charles Mountford and Melva Jean Roberts, brings the rich tapestry of Australian Aboriginal mythology to life in a beautifully illustrated picture book. Drawing on traditional stories, it offers readers of all ages a vivid glimpse into Indigenous culture and the ancient Dreamtime narratives.
Ainslie Roberts’ striking artwork complements the text, making the book appealing to children, young adults, and collectors interested in folklore, history, and environmental themes. As part of the First Sunrise series, it blends storytelling with cultural education for a wide audience.
Published by Rigby Limited in a hardcover format with a dust jacket, this vintage edition (ISBN 0727000462) remains a sought‑after item for those who cherish Australian art and mythology. The book’s physical presence, including its dust‑jacket and illustrated pages, adds to its collectible appeal.
The copies show light scuffing on the dust jackets and minor shelving wear, with one volume displaying foxing on the top closed‑page edge and rare page‑edge rubbing. A dog‑eared crease appears on a publication page, and one copy carries a personal gift inscription, all noted as part of the overall condition.
