Published in 1896, 'Australian Legendary Tales: Folk-Lore of the Noongahburrahs as Told to the Piccaninnies' is a collection of Aboriginal folktales compiled by K. Langloh Parker. This anthology features legends from the Noongahburrahs, an Aboriginal tribe in Australia, and offers insights into their culture, beliefs, and the natural world through storytelling. The tales include a mix of whimsical and mythical elements, with characters such as emus and lizards imparting moral lessons. Parker's work is significant for preserving the rapidly diminishing folklore of the Noongahburrah tribe.
