When the Wind Blows. By Raymond Briggs. Published by Hamish Hamilton £4.25.

IF YOU are not able to see the play reviewed on this page, then do get the book. Combining humor with anti-nuclear propaganda is no mean feat, but Briggs manages to do just that. Ideal for your own reading and an excellent present for someone who thinks that there is something to be said for civil defence precautions. It also makes the point that putting your faith in pro-nuclear governments is the road to certain destruction.
