Since he was hanged in Melbourne jail a century ago, Ned Kelly has become big business. The outlaw who fought against the moneyed people of his day is now a considerable money-spinner himself. Kelly has also inspired a bewildering variety of products, including soap, after-shave lotion and poker machines that growl, 'Such is life' when they pay out. The author takes a wry look at the Kelly legend, and what it has meant for Australian commerce. Inthe process, he examines why we regard an Irish horse thief and murderer as an unofficial national hero. 128pp illustrated(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
