  1. Happy International #PicnicDay!

    The weather here is a bit undecided between rain and #sunshine, but if you don't dare to have a real #picnic al fresco today, how about revisiting #JoanLindsay's novel "Picnic at Hanging Rock"?

    A classic of #Gothic & #AustralianLiterature!

    #PicnicAtHangingRock by #JoanLindsay (1967)

    Quote:
    The girl so far had remembered nothing of her experiences on the Rock; nor, in Doctor McKenzie’s opinion or that of the two eminent special­ists from Sydney and Melbourne, would she ever remember. A portion of the delicate mechanism of the brain appeared to be irrevocably damaged.

    “Like a clock, you know,” the doctor explained. “A clock that stops under a certain set of unusual conditions and refuses ever to go again beyond a particular point.”
