Jock Serong, Mark Smith and Neil A. White posed the question: what would happen if a group of Australia s finest storytellers were invited to let their minds go walking through the Paul Kelly songbook Twenty-one writers responded with tales of forbidden love, with the ghosts that inhabit St Kilda and the special treatment of the Noongar people; with the dumb things they did when they crossed the Nullarbor, and how a simple song could bind a father and daughter forever.Like Paul Kelly s songs, the stories in this anthology will take you anywhere, and everywhere, and they will keep coming back to you like a cork on the tide.
