Self confessed horse thief, a bank robber who admitted shooting down policemen, and the leader of a gang of outlaws, Ned Kelly is a character that generates fascination and controversy in both Australia and the world.
Author Keith McMenomy spent twenty years assembling this unrivalled selection of Kelly paraphernalia - with over 330 illustrations - piecing together authentic accounts to form a complete picture of Kelly and his associates. He illuminates the continuing argument over whether Kelly was merely a spectacular and hardened criminal or a symbol of rebellion from repression, the embodiment of the Australian ideal of 'the fearless, the free and the bold'.
This is the ultimate book for anyone interested in Kelly and his life. It uses hundreds of original photographs and words from the protagonists themselves, and details Kelly's life from start to finish.
