Description: The Wyndham CollectionThe Day of the Triffids, The Midwich Cuckoos and The ChrysalidsJohn WyndhamIllustrated by Patrick LegerIntroduced by Adam RobertsThe Day of the Triffids, The Midwich Cuckoos and The Chrysalids – three unforgettable science-fiction visions from John Wyndham. This Folio edition is illustrated by Patrick Leger and introduced by Adam Roberts.John Wyndham created some of the most intriguing and intelligent science fiction of the 20th century, and this special collection brings together three of his best works. His gripping stories show ordinary, sometimes heroic people reacting to unsettling or disastrous events that call into question the very nature of human society. With Wyndham’s writing, science fiction becomes an instrument to force us to look at our own world with fresh eyes and to examine our comfortable assumptions, from human superiority to the permanence of civilisation. These striking Folio editions feature superb illustrations by Patrick Leger and three unnerving binding designs, presented together in a blocked slipcase. Each novel is separately introduced by science-fiction writer Adam Roberts, who praises Wyndham’s books as some of the most perceptive and potently memorable fictions of the century.
