AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A fascinating account of a little-known aspect of Australian social history which reaches into the treasury of Aboriginal toys found on the shelves of museums all over Australia.'

'From spears, shields and throwing sticks to hockey, marbles and fireworks, this beautifully illustrated and cleverly structured book builds for the reader a unique picture of the lives of Aboriginal children in the past and present, and adds significantly to records of Aboriginal society then and now.'
