It has gone through nine editions: two self-published, six by four different Melbourne-based publishers, and one by Victoria's Standard Newspapers. Sidney Nolan, one of Australia's most iconic painters, used the book as inspiration for his famous 1946-47 Ned Kelly series. The series of 27 paintings including The Trial, at the National Gallery of Australia, feature the now-iconic figure of Kelly as his black iron helmet. The book appears prominently in the bonus features section "Ned Kelly in Popular Culture" of the DVD for 2003 Ned Kelly film starring Heath Ledger.[24] The title of Peter Carey's Booker Prize-winning novel, True History of the Kelly Gang (2000), references Kenneally's 1929 title" (Wikipedia)
