A Darker Shade of Moonlite: A Creative Biography - Paperback

by Craig Cormick (Author)

How do you best tell the story of Australia's most enigmatic bushranger - Captain Moonlite? The stories he told of his life conflict with the stories told by others, which conflict with the records. A well-educated man, in and out of asylums and prison, who finally found his purpose and his love leading a small gang of young men. Until they followed him into violent chaos.

This book is a creative retelling of history, using many perspectives of fact and time - both yesteryear and today - to try and capture something of Moonlite the man, and the society that made him.
