Old Tales Of A Young Country is a collection of short stories written by Marcus Clarke and originally published in 1871. The book is set in Australia and explores the country's early colonial history through a series of fictional narratives. The stories cover a range of themes, including love, betrayal, crime, and adventure, and are populated by a diverse cast of characters, from convicts and bushrangers to wealthy landowners and their families. Clarke's writing is characterized by a vivid and evocative style, and he draws on his own experiences of life in Australia to create a rich and immersive portrait of the country and its people. The book is widely regarded as a classic of Australian literature and remains a popular choice for readers interested in the country's history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
