Australian Christmas Stories

Christmases everywhere should be filled with gifts and good cheer. But in Australia, Christmas may also feature fires, snakes, droughts, injuries, epic journeys, and all kinds of challenges for children and adults alike. This is a collection of short stories by well-known Australian author, Mary Grant Bruce (1878–1958). It combines the stories previously published as “Australian Christmas Yarns Volumes I & II”, with the addition of three previously unreleased stories. You can almost hear the kookaburras laughing and smell the eucalyptus.
