How do you 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 in 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.
