Writing Fairy Tales for Australia: Beatrice Wilcken (c. late 1830s/early 40s-1910)

AND why not fairies in Australia? Why should not our innumerable ferny glades, romantic valleys, mountainous passes, and lonesome glens, be peopled with fays and elves?

Writing Fairy Tales for Australia: Beatrice Wilcken (c. late 1830s/early 40s-1910)

I live and work on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people of the Kulin Nations, the first storytellers of this land. I pay my respects to their Elders, past and present, and honour their deep tradition of storytelling, which has carried wisdom, culture, and connection through generations. May their stories continue to inspire, enrich, and guide us.
