This paperback of John Wyndhams' brilliant book "The Chrysalids" is in very good condition and as far as I'm concerned, a real bargain. They keep making movies etc. based on his "The Day of the Triffids" and "Midwich Cuckoos" but as far as I'm concerned, this is his best work. This is one of those books I read periodically so it's nice to have a fresh copy that doesn't have loose pages like my old one that I bought in the 1960s. The story takes you to a future world paralysed by genetic mutation and where the chances of breeding true are less than fifty per cent. These deviations are rooted out and destroyed. This is the society our hero David and the girl he loves are born into, and they are different and inevitably have to run for their lives! I recommend you give it a go because it's a good story and absolutely gripping. Hard to believe it was written in 1955. I dont think it has dated at all.Read full review
Yet another one of John Wyndham's strange creations. Great for anyone that likes off-track reading.
