Sydney, William Homer, 1932.
Octavo, [vi], 53 pages.

A book for children; this copy is inscribed and signed by the author to a Mr Grace (15 June 1933). Chapter 5 is 'King Billy' Cave'. The bandicoot takes the boys to the cave where a great Aboriginal king had lived with his tribe. '"That must be where he is buried," cried Mac. So soon they were all digging away until Mac, carefully removing some soil, found the skeleton of King Billy, and they soon had his bones on the grass, with a collection of nulla nullas, spears and boomerangs. This was a wonderful find ...' Muir 3811 ('Fairy story about bush animals, &c.').
