The Illustrated Book of Dreamtime

Description

Dreamtime, according to Aboriginal tradition, existed before time began, and remains with us today. More than a religion, or a philosophy Dreamtime is an ancient mythology, spirituality and culture that originates with Australia's indigenous people, but its imaginative power reaches the hearts and minds of everyone in the world. This beautiful new book is sumptuously illustrated and works well both as a companion and a gift.
