Favourite Australian Stories is an anthology of Australian short stories edited by Colin Thiele, published by Rigby in 1963. [1]
The anthology contains 23 stories which were published in a variety of original publications, from a range of authors. [2]
Writing in the Tribune (Sydney) reviewer J. M. noted: "Colin Thiele has done a service by including in the collection stories by Steele Rudd, Henry Handel Richardson and Xavier Herbert which otherwise might not be known...One of the interesting features of this collection is the preponderance of stories from the countryside — stories which give city dwellers a better understanding of the lives of country people."
