A delightfully comic yarn by a master story teller, Whisky Galore tracks the effects of a whisky shortage, and then a whisky surplus, on the fictional islands of Great and Little Todday, in the Scottish Hebrides, during World War II. A tale told with a tremendous love for the people and the heritage of the Hebrides. This is a novel based on the wreck of the S.S. Politician off the Outer Hebrides during the Second World War. The author lived there at the time and has written an hilarious story. It has good language, good characters, and a good plot.

Also have the 1949 movie from the book.
