Published just once before in 1988, this book contains over sixty paintings and sixty drawings by Ainslie Roberts based on Aboriginal Mythology, with texts by Melva Jean Roberts and Charles Mountford. Introduced by Dale Roberts. Quite apart from their artistic worth the paintings add a great deal to our understanding and appreciation of the myths they illustrate; and Roberts delivers them with a real sense of background, whether this is the harsh hot Centre or the green waves of the Southern Ocean. - The Australian The artist's evocation of these myths is often extremely dramatic and imaginative; this volume is valuable both for its material on Aboriginal mythology and as an example of contemporary Australian art. - British Book News

This book is a companion to THE DREAMTIME, one of the greatest Australian publishing successes with over one million copies sold in Australia alone. The original concept of the paintings was developed by an association between Ainslie Roberts and Charles Mountford, well known for his anthropological work among the Aboriginal peoples. They had made extensive tours through remote outback regions, and the resulting potent imagery bridged cultural gulfs, making Australians more aware of the Aboriginal sense of sacredness in all things. THE DAWN OF TIME is once more accompanied by myths interpreted by Mr Mountford. In this book, all the paintings are reproduced in full colour, with black and white drawings which also illustrate the myths, and like its predecessor it is a unique contribution to Australian art and literature and a genuine record of Aboriginal mythology.
