The Kelly clan had hoped for a better lot in Australia than in Ireland. In the new Australian colony, however, they found themselves once again destined to lives of poverty, rejection, and powerlessness. With their dream of dignity, freedom, and land denied them, some succumbed and others rebelled. Since his death in the old Melbourne Gaol, Ned Kelly has become part of the land and its memories. In this evocative, imaginative recreation of the Kelly story, the author unravels the tangled skein of a life over which legend has cast a spell..
