Description

A cloudless summer day in 1900, and the students of Appleyard College for Young Ladies had chosen the perfect picnic spot at Hanging Rock. After lunch, a group of three girls decided to explore the scrub, pressing on into the shadows of the secluded volcanic outcropping. They never returned. The disappearance of these three girls has become a mysterious and intriguing event, inspiring a landmark novel that has captivated readers for generations. Mysterious and subtly erotic, Picnic at Hanging Rock is a beguiling tale of intrigue that stands alongside other masterpieces of Australian literature. First published in 1967, this 50th-anniversary edition features a foreword by Maile Meloy, author of Do Not Become Alarmed.
