Dustjacket synopsis:
"The much-loved Hist!, a classic Australian poem by C.J. Dennis (1876-1938), telling of the adventures of three children who stay out too late and have to make their way home through the dark, is well known to an older generation of readers. In this book, through a series of highly imaginative, evocative and superbly crafted linocuts, artist Peter Gouldthorpe has given Hist! brilliant new life and meaning for today's children."
