As the first LLoyd Webber musical in 25 years to have its world
premiere in the United States (not London) -- and as the first
collaboration between LLoyd Webber and Harold Prince since The
Phantom of the Opera -- Whistle Down the Wind will be the show, the
tunes, and the story on everyone's lips this April. With this
exciting world premiere of the new Broadway musical comes
Hyperion's exclusive first-ever U.S. publication of the uplifting
novel which set it all in motion.
Mary Hayley Bell's novel is a classic story of childhood
innocence. It is a tale simply told by a child about how she and
her brothers and sisters find a man in the barn who they believe is
Jesus. They feed him and care for him and keep him secret from the
grown-ups for many weeks until the sneak Amos Nodge gives the game
away. The adults have a shrewder idea that the man is in fact a
recently escaped convict. Adults and children converge on the barn,
which is finally engulfed in flames. When the fire dies down, all
that remains is a charred cross on the wall.
Whistle Down the Wind is a modern fable of faith, love, and
human decency -- a powerful spiritual allegory. The publicity
surrounding LLoyd Webber's musical will broadcast the outline of
the novel to the world -- its heart will be found on the pages of
this very special book.
