A book of true stories - ones my grandmother told me, stories about the animals I've known. Even a true ghost story (I promise...). According to the Publisher's blurb: 'There is a village near here called Major's Creek. It's just up the road from us; a winding, narrow road filled with wallaby tails and lyrebirds. This is a wonderful collection from one of our most successful authors. These stories give children - and adults - an insight into Australian history and the bush in a very personalised way. The stories are all drawn from Jackie's own family history and experiences and will enchant you, from the tale of the cunning wombat Moriarty to a meeting with Henry Lawson, and her great grandmother's dance with the bushranger Ben Hall.
