About this listen

Peter Carey's stunning, Booker Prize-winning novel about Australia's most famous outlaw.

As he flees the police, Ned Kelly scribbles his narrative in semiliterate but magically descriptive prose. To his pursuers he is a thief and a murderer. To his own people he's a hero for opposing the English. Ned, who saw his first prison cell at 15, has become the most wanted man in the wild colony of Victoria, taking over towns and defying authority.

Here is a classic outlaw tale, made alive by the skill of a great novelist. There are no sentences like these in all Australian literature, and yet they could only have grown from our soil.

Fantastic spirited tale of Ned Kelly brought to life in a deluge of dramatic events, some real and others imagined, which paint a vivid picture of Australia of this period as experienced by its' Irish underdog citizens. Wonderful contemporary dialogue.

I really enjoyed this Booker Prize winner. I felt so sorry for Ned Kelly and so angry at the lack of justice. Well written and wonderfully narrated. Enjoy.
