'get her this novel where waterstones might be' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'get her this novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in a new or novel order).
'get'+'her'+'this'='getherthis'
'getherthis' with letters rearranged gives 'HIGH STREET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for high street that I've seen is " Shopping area".)
