The Dreamtime
The Dreamtime by Charles Mountford and Melva Jean Roberts is a beautifully illustrated picture book that brings Aboriginal stories and Australian cultural history to life. Featuring artwork by Ainslie Roberts, the volume blends folklore, mythology and natural history for readers of all ages.
Published by Rigby Limited, this hardcover edition includes a dust jacket and vivid colour plates that make it a standout title in children’s, art and cultural studies collections. Its broad appeal spans toddlers to adults interested in Indigenous narratives and environmental themes.
The book shows light scuffing to the dust jackets and minor shelving wear on the covers, with some foxing on the top closed‑page edge and a rare page‑edge rubbing. A small dog‑eared crease appears on one interior page, and the volume bears a personal inscription as a gift.
A vintage Australian title, The Dreamtime is a collectible item for those who appreciate illustrated folklore and historic picture books. Its condition reflects careful use and adds character to this sought‑after cultural work.
