Master of the Ghost Dreaming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922384874)

In the first years of the 19th century a small Aboriginal tribe reels under the threat of white invasion of their ancestral lands... This novel by Mudrooroo is a story of survival - physical, metaphysical and magical: it is also the story of Jamgamuttuk, the custodian of the Ghost Dreaming, and his shamanistic efforts to will his tribe back to its own promised land.

Alluring and enchanting, the volume will capture readers from its first page. Mudrooroo shows once again that truth may sleep but it never dies. - Publisher's Weekly

A most original contribution to Australian literary style... probably the first instinctively Australian magical-realist novel. - Rod Moran, West Australian

A real page-turner. The prose is lyrical, yet simple, the images real and ironic... an exciting, moving and engaging novel. - Sophie Masson, Australian Book Review
