Description

It's 1961 and deep in the Australian outback, the country town of Albury is about to go to war with itself. Putting fluoride in the water supply isn't exactly a straightforward proposition - in fact, it's a secret ploy by the communists to poison the townsfolk's precious bodily fluids. Or is it? Seen through the eyes of mischievous 11-year-old schoolboy Charles, PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS is a hysterically funny childhood memoir that vividly evokes a certain time, place and way of life that is now lost forever ...
