  1. I've read a lot of Nevil Shute in earlier days. I managed to pick up his complete works in Heron Books for $20 at a book sale and many look unread. I've always intended to have a re-read.

     

    On the Beach was never my favorite, although I loved A Town Like Alice (but this was a long time ago, I could quite easily think completely differently now ;))The ones I enjoyed the most were Requiem for A Wren and Pied Piper. Pied Piper was a lovely story about an elderly English man at the outbreak of WWII in France. He is entrusted with the care of two young children and as he tries to get them back to England, he acquires more children to look after.
