Summary "Fairy Tales Told in the Bush" by Sister Agnes is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century, encapsulating tales told to children in the Australian bush. The book serves as a blend of traditional fairy tales, woven with elements of local history and culture, reflecting the experiences of children living in Australia during that time. Through enchanting narratives, it captures the imagination of young readers while imparting valuable moral lessons.
