In The Wet

Shute,Nevil
1953 (First Edition, first printing). Heinemann , London, England

This is a speculative glance into the future of the British Empire with the Queen coming to live in Australia, published in the year of Elizabeth's coronation. A strange story and is certainly an 'elusive title' in such good condition, without any lean either.
