    About this audiobook

    The story tells about how a group of young hunters from one tribe went to find food. The main character - one of the young men promised his beloved girl that he will bring to her family so much meat that it will be enough for three days. When they reached the lake, the boys began to fish. All of them used worms as a bait, but the main hero had a piece of raw meat. He was waiting a long time, but finally someone pulled the trigger strongly. From the water appeared a “creature that was neither a calf nor a seal, but something of both, with a long, broad tail” and “there was not a man amongst them who did not know what it was-- the cub of the awful Bunyip!” But it was not alone - horrified hunters realized that his mother noticed them. They whispered to the catcher to release the creature, but he refused. You can learn how the Bunyip took revenge on the hunter and his tribe if you read this exotic Australian fairy tale!

    Andrew Lang

    Andrew Lang (March, 31, 1844 – July 20, 1912) was a Scottish writer and literary critic who is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang’s academic interests extended beyond the literary and he was a noted contributor to the fields of anthropology, folklore, psychical research, history, and classic scholarship, as well as the inspiration for the University of St. Andrew’s Andrew Lang Lectures. A prolific author, Lang published more than 100 works during his career, including twelve fairy books, in which he compiled folk and fairy tales from around the world. Lang’s Lilac Fairy and Red Fairy books are credited with influencing J. R. R. Tolkien, who commented on the importance of fairy stories in the modern world in his 1939 Andrew Lang Lecture “On Fairy-Stories.”
