Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay
$20.00 Inc GST
If her terrified cries had been heard by anyone but a wallaby squatting in a clump of bracken a few feet away, the picnic at Hanging Rock might yet have been just another picnic on a summer’s day.
On a cloudless summer day in 1900, a group from Appleyard College for Young Ladies goes for a picnic. In the heat of the afternoon sun, three girls climb through the scrub—and disappear.
Ethereal and enigmatic, Picnic at Hanging Rock has been haunting the Australian imagination for half a century.
A reinvigoration of the iconic Australian classic that captivated generations of readers, featuring stylish new cover art and a brand new introduction from young Australian writer Romy Ash.
