'Mrs. Margaret Tucker's story- the story of herself, the Aboriginal Lilardia- is the story of the attainment of a dignity beyond oppression, misreprentation, flattery, the desire for approval, and beyond malice. The essence of Aboriginal thought has always been transcendental, and all Aboriginal ritual seeks identification with the creative force in the universer. To Lilardia this creative force is the Holy Spirit. This is a simple tale of humour and sadness, adventure and legend. It is of great historical importance.' (Source: On-Line)
