Work history
A little boring
3/5
Amazon
Rainbow (New Castle, Indiana United States)

This book has loads of Aboriginal myths but is dry and boring at times. I did find lots of stories concerning the Aboriginal Rainbow Snake which is what I was particularly interested in. However, the book seems to have been written mostly for hard-core anthropologists and not for the regular layperson. I reccomend it if you're doing intense research into Abo myths.
