Noelene Allen
First published 2012 by Network Creative Services

Ellen: a woman of spirit is the extraordinary true story of a woman whose life journey is told in this long awaited book with sympathy, compassion and above all honesty. The reader will become immersed in the trials, tragedies and triumphs of this woman. The love of Ellen’s life is taken from her at an early age; she is faced with the task of bringing up her children on her own. She will do anything for her children including spending time in gaol for protecting her teenage daughter from the unwanted advances of a police officer. No mother should experience the tragedies and losses that this woman endured throughout her long life; she outlived seven of her twelve children. The strength of the women of the Kelly family becomes clear as the reader shares many previously untold anecdotes of the life of the mother of Australia’s most famous bushranger, Ned Kelly.

Ned Kelly: A Short Life
Ian Jones
First published 2010 by Hachette UK

Yet another reprint of A Short Life! Now published by that froggie monolith Hachette UK, the company seems to have done a 'hachette job' on the book. This one seems to be watered down somewhat, as it's missing some information from the previous Lothian editions. The wishy-washy cover doesn't help either.

The Interpretation of the Ned Kelly Story in Jean Bedford's 'Sister Kate'
Bao Lin
First published 2010 by The Gale Group Inc

On the occasion of the centenary of Ned Kelly in 1980, Jean Bedford challenges the traditional masculine dominant myth of Ned Kelly. Bedford takes the gender issue as her central topic to reinterpret the Kelly myth from Kate Kelly's blah, blah, blah... This might have been a better read if the author had have used a more worthwhile subject other than the very ordinary Sister Kate.

True Crime: Ned Kelly
Cop Killer or Folk Hero?
First published 2011 by Quik eBooks Ltd

The true crime here is calling the few pages that make up this file an eBook. Worse still, the body copy is literally pulled off this web site. The publishers are so dodgey they didn't even bother listing an author's name! Even at 99cents it's a waste of money. Save those coins and put them towards something more worthwhile from the list above
