Picnic at Hanging Rock

SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

Picnic at Hanging Rock

By Joan Lindsay About

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.

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.
