Story5 out of 5 stars 8
African folktales come in many different types. Some are myths explaining the origins of things, while others are tales of heroes with supernatural abilities. Animal stories are many and varied, and they usually involve some kind of trickster who uses his wiles to get out of sticky situations and sometimes into them. There are also cautionary tales explaining why it is important to behave well and treat others with respect, while other stories have a style and shape similar to that of a fairy tale.

Japan is a single nation, but its origins are so old, and often, so fragmented, that unified mythology and folklore can be difficult to point to. Still, there are some key texts, tales, and characters we can focus on which will give us a pretty good sense of Japanese mythology. In this audiobook, you'll discover stories of mystery, horror, and romance while simultaneously learning about the Japanese culture.

Summary
If you're looking for a captivating collection of Australian myths, then pay attention....
With a history reaching back over 40,000 years, Indigenous Australian culture is one of the oldest continually existing cultures in the world. According to DNA tests conducted at the University of Copenhagen, Indigenous Australian people are the descendants of the first migrants to have left the birthplace of humanity in Africa, some 75,000 years ago. Across these many millennia, the Indigenous peoples of Australia have established complex and unique societies that have adapted well to the often harsh conditions of the Australian landscape.
Although Indigenous Australian culture tends to be named as though it were a single unit, it is far from monolithic. According to the Australian government’s website, at the time of first contact with Europeans, there were some 500 distinct Indigenous nations inhabiting Australia, speaking different languages and following their own religious and cultural practices, with a certain amount of overlap across cultures.
As with all human societies, that of the Indigenous Australians is abounding in stories. Stories of how the world came to be the way it is, stories of heroism and perfidy, stories about animals and birds, and stories about love and hate all have parts to play in the wide array of myths, legends, and tales created by Indigenous Australians.
Australian Mythology: Captivating Dreamtime Stories of Indigenous Australians invites you to go on a startling journey and discover:
- Origin stories
- Myths of gods, heroes, and monsters
- Animal tales
- And much, much more!

Awesome!
This is such an easy audible to listen. It isn't dry or overbearing. The stories are formatted nicely. The stories are a bit more condensed than other variations, so you lose some of the details, but you get a good summary of them. Great for people just wanting a starting point for the various mythologies.

Neat Approach!
This was a great retelling of ancient myths and history. Each section combined storytelling and historical fact in a way that was interesting. There were many historical facts as well as speculations as to how the myths of ancient man came about.

What is with the voice
Australian mythology spoken by what sounds like an American robot. They couldn’t get one indigenous Australian to read their own mythology? Or even just an Australian? The stories are great, but so many simple words are mispronounced. Such a shame. I would have preferred to have read the book myself.
