This volume of Nevil Shute the Prince of story tellers' contains five of his most powerful and satisfying novels. Brilliantly yet simply told, these exciting stories about the courage and loves of ordinary people are full of humanity and understanding. A Town Like Alice is Shute's most famous novel about a romance between an Australian POW and an English girl and the life they build in Australia after the war. The Chequer Board probes with masterly compassion the hates and loves of four people adapting to post war civilian life. The Far Country describes the life and disasters of an Australian lumber camp with compelling detail. Pied Piper and No Highway are thrilling dramas of mounting suspense - of one man's rescue of seven abandoned children in France, 1940; and the horror of a fatal flaw discovered in a 'plane crossing the Atlantic.
