Ned Kelly: A Short Life

Ned Kelly the man, warts and all – the most vivid portrait yet of Australia’s immortal outlaw!Author, Ian Jones, the acknowledged Kelly authority, shares with us the results of a lifetime’s research. For the first time Ned Kelly truly emerges as a man – a man who hated conflict yet never escaped it. A man who was seen, even in his own lifetime, as what he represented rather than what he was, and whose enemies – even more than his allies – helped to make him a legend.This edition in the Bolinda Classics series has a new introduction and a fully revised concluding chapter.
