‘… another collection of yarns, tall tales, bush legends and colourful characters … from one of our master storytellers.’ —The Queensland Times

Great Anzac Stories

‘… allows you to feel as if you are there in the trenches with them.’ —The Weekly Times

‘They are pithy short pieces, absolutely ideal for reading when you are pushed for time, but they are stories you will remember for much longer than you would expect.’ —The Ballarat Courier

Great Australian Journeys

‘Readers familiar with Graham Seal’s work will know he finds and writes ripper, fair-dinkum, true blue Aussie yarns. His books are great reads and do a lot for ensuring cultural stories are not lost. His new book, Great Australian Journeys, is no exception.’ —The Weekly Times

‘More than just a retelling of some of the most fascinating yarns, Seal is interested in how folklore around the convicts grew from the colourful tales of transportation and what impact that had on how we see our convict heritage.’ —The Daily Telegraph

‘With a cast of colourful characters from around the country—the real Artful Dodger, intrepid bushrangers … Great Convict Stories offers a fascinating insight into life in Australia’s first decades.’ —Sunraysia Daily

Great Bush Stories

‘This collection is Graham Seal at his best.’ —The Land

‘Seal draws effectively on the rich Australian bush traditions of versification and balladeering … He takes us back to a time when “the bush” was central to popular notions of Australian identity, with the likes of Henry Lawson and “Banjo” Paterson serving to both celebrate and mythologise it.’ —Writing WA
