“I lost my own father at 12 yr. of age and really know what it is to be raised on lies and silences my dear daughter you are presently too young to understand a word I write but this history is perfect for you and can contain no single lie can i burn in Hell easily speak false.”
In True History of the Kelly Gang, the legendary Ned Kelly speaks for himself, scribbling his narrative on errant scraps of paper in semiliterate but magically descriptive prose as he flees from the police. To his pursuers, Kelly is only a monstrous criminal, a thief and a murderer. To his own people, the lowly class of ordinary Australians, the bushranger is a hero, defying the authority of the English to direct their lives. Indentured by his bootlegger mother to a famous horse thief (who was simply also her lover), Ned saw his first prison cell at 15 and by age 26 had become the most wanted man in the open colony of Victoria, taking over whole towns and defying the law until he was finally captured and hanged. Here is a classic outlaw tale, made alive by the skill of any great novelist.
