'Turramulli the Giant Quinkiny' by Percy Trezise and Dick Roughsey Book Review


'Turramulli the Giant Quinkiny' by Percy Trezise and Dick Roughsey is a book involving the lore around the Turramulli spirit
of Australian aboriginal beliefs. 

Turramulli is a creature not unlike a Bigfoot but bigger and more 'I'm going to eat you'. In addition, this creature is the largest example of its kind. 

Now, this story is on the bloody side for children and it shows aborigines in their native garb. You see a number of dark backsides in this book. 

As a parent you need to think hard about what is right for your child and given that this book is for very young children it is questionable. As I pointed out with the last book by these authors: what would happen if your six year old drew something out of this book in class? 

Who should read this book? The open minded.
