Whisky Galore by Compton Mackenzie 1949 hardback

Description: It's 1943 and the war has brought rationing to the Hebridean islands of Great and Little Todday. When food is in short supply, it is bad enough, but when the whisky runs out, it looks like the end of the world. Morale is at rock bottom. George Campbell needs a wee dram to give him the courage to stand up to his mother and marry Catriona. The priest, the doctor and, of course, the landlord at the inn are all having a very thin time of it. There's no conversation, no jollity, no fun - until a shipwreck off the coast brings a piece of extraordinary good fortune. No dust jacket.  Red boards with gilt titles to spine are in good condition with light bumps to edges and some very slight soiling.  Previous owner's gift inscription to first cover page.  Internal pages are clean and unmarked.  Front leaf of dust jacket also included as per photo.
