Reader's note

The Chrysalids is the story of a world in which genetic mutations - in plant, animal, and human life - are continually occurring, to be rooted out and destroyed as Offences and Abominations - whether they are a field of mutant corn, a calf with two heads, or a human child. The anguish this causes to the families which live in terror of deviation and in a small area surrounded by the Wild Country where the chance of breeding true is less than fifty percent, and the Fringes and Badlands where the chances are far less, is described by John Wyndham in a manner all the more frightening for being so realistic and credible.
