What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first U.K. edition, first impression of this work.
In the original unclipped dust wrapper, designed by Wildsmith.
'The Chrysalids' is one of the most important and influential science fiction novels ever published.
Set in post-apocalyptic Labrador in which the Earth's technologically advanced population had been destroyed by God in a 'Tribulation'. In this post-apocalyptic world the inhabitants are now fundamentalist Christians, following God's word to prevent another Tribulation.
This is generally regarded to be the best of John Wyndham's novels.
