A new edition of the definitive biography of Ned Kelly. In Jone’s biography, Kelly emerges as a man – a man who hated conflict but never escaped it. A private man incapable of being ordinary and unnoticed. Seen, even in his own lifetime, as what he represented rather than what he was.
‘The best Kelly biography by a country mile’ – The Australian
The definitive biography of Ned Kelly – and a superb description of his times.
Ian Jones combines years of research into all the records of the era and exhaustive interviews with living descendants of those involved, to present a vivid and gripping account of one of Australia’s most iconic figures.
`It will probably stand as the definitive account of Kelly?s life and its meaning?a work of prodigious scholarship, vivid reportage and sharp analysi. The most detailed portrait of the outlaw ever written?.- Rod Moran, West Australian
