Default does anyone know what this book is?
so i'm listening to the human league's long forgotten 1979 masterpeice 'the dignity of labour' for the first time in a very long time and its reminding me of a book we read at school but i cant for the life of me remember the bloody title.

it was set post nuclear war and was about a valley that had been hadnt been subjected to the horrors of the war and featured a kid.

not much to go on i know but might ring some bells somewhere!

It's Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdrome : The Official Novelisation. A classic if there ever was one.
