“A fascinating adventure story of Australia in Negrito times, when our land was peopled by these little men, when Giant Man and the Diprotodon roamed the forests.
Based on field studies and recorded scientific research into this far-distant period, illustrated with scientifically correct pictures of the daily life of the Australian Negritos by the Museum artist, Miss Madeleine Boyce, and provided with a little dictionary giving brief but accurate cover of the scientific background of the story.
Primarily designed for children’s reading, this is a book that will both interest and delight Australians of all ages.”
