Articles of Interest in Issue 12

An issue presented to Hugh Anderson (b. 1927) in appreciation of his contribution to contextualizing Old Bush Songs


The present annual volume, the largest (approximately 320 pages) by the Australian Folklore Association, Inc. So far, is in some part built on both themes treated in earlier issues and on the steadily widening number of contributing scholars and subscribers, as well as on the support readily available from many comparable bodies and their serial publications.
