Ben Hall the Bushranger is a 1947 Australian historical novel by Frank Clune about the bushranger Ben Hall. It tried to focus on Hall's motivations.[1]

He wrote this and Dark Outlaw as historical novels while researching his large non fiction book Wild Colonial Boys.[2][3]

Reception

The West Australian said "the romance and adventure... make an attractive narrative."[4]

Smith's Weekly said Clune "can give you the scenes, he can describe their faces, their huts, their names and tneir clothes. He can give a detailed and very stirring account of their actions. But when it comes to explaining their insides and what makes them tick, he is lost; they all "revert to type"; and that is the difference between the Australian of Francis Ratcliffe and the Australian of Frank Clune's various books on travels through Australia."[5]

The Sunday Times said it was "not a very deep character analy-sis - about half-way between actions and basic motives. And in places the story lumbers and the intelligence of the reader is under-estimated by pointing out tacticns that are obvious by the dialogue. Nevertheless, the book is well worth a place on anybody's shelf, for its historical as well as its entertainment value."[6]

ABC Weekly declared "Frank Clune has used both hands to apply his colours, and if at times the story degenerates into something of the old penny-dreadful it is alwavs interesting."[7]
