AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'"Hum" is the imaginary playmate of childhood, for 'out of every three million babies,' the author writes, 'two million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine are born with a 'Hum' kind of person hovering around them. And the other one? He acquires it before he is two.' This is a whimsical story that should appeal to the imaginations of children, and has its setting in the Australian bush.'
