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.
