Order of Nevil Shute Books
Nevil Shute Norway (1899-1960) was an English-Australian novelist as well as an aeronautical engineer. He dropped the “Norway” from his pen name in order to protect his engineering career. His novels are not divided into series, but rather three categories – Pre-War (mostly pre-1940), War (1938-1947) and Australia (1948-1960). As he was an aeronautical engineer, aviation plays a big part in his novels.

Where is the book “Kindling” listed? Great book, probably his 6th best.
The name of the book written in 1944 was ‘Pastoral’ not Pastrol.
Thanks!
