Echoes of the Dreamtime : Australian Aboriginal Myths

Published just once before in 1988, this book contains over sixty paintings and sixty drawings by Ainslie Roberts based on Aboriginal Mythology, with texts by Melva Jean Roberts and Charles Mountford. Introduced by Dale Roberts. Quite apart from their artistic worth the paintings add a great deal to our understanding and appreciation of the myths they illustrate; and Roberts delivers them with a real sense of background, whether this is the harsh hot Centre or the green waves of the Southern Ocean. - The Australian The artist's evocation of these myths is often extremely dramatic and imaginative; this volume is valuable both for its material on Aboriginal mythology and as an example of contemporary Australian art. - British Book News
