AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Darkness is a time of ghosts and enchantment, mystery and adventure. The real world becomes unpredictable - sometimes terrifying; anything can happen. But night is also magic time, a time for watching stars, for going fishing by moonlight, and for dreaming of infinite possibilities.

'These short stories are from some of Australia's best children's writers, including Colin Thiele and Garry Hurle.' (Publication summary)
