Title Details
The Novels of John Wyndham
The Midwich Cuckoos, the Chrysalids
By John Wyndham · 2010
Back to CatalogueThis collection gathers three mid-century science-fiction novels in which ordinary English or colonial communities face a sudden change in the living world. In one, most of the population is blinded and walking plants become hunters. In another, a village sleeps through a day and later bears children with the same golden eyes. In the third, a post-disaster society hunts genetic difference while a boy discovers others like himself. The books treat panic, conformity, and what counts as human after catastrophe. The set is a trio of speculative novels, not a single continuous saga.
