A TRUE HISTORY
THE AMAZING WORLD OF LETTER ART DOGS
Maree Coote What happens when the truth gets lost? Where wild animals and people meet, tragedy can strike. But when a tiny baby is stolen by a dingo, people simply cannot accept such a thing. Prejudice and gossip grip the nation, and the tragedy transforms into a fight for the truth. How did it all go so wrong? This is a true Australian story of innocence, ignorance, and the perils of mob thinking. • ‘An important story for children about one of Australia’s most dramatic miscarriages of justice.’ — The Hon. Justice Lex Lasry, AM. • ‘ A modern day true fairy tale, cautionary and unforgettable. Essential reading for students of history and the law, young and old.’
