Reader's note

This decorative orange Penguin is a 1963 edition of The Death of Grass by John Christopher. This is a terrifying and strikingly unusual fantasy - invites comparison with the novels of John Wyndham. It recounts the changes that take place on the face of the earth when the balance of nature is upset. The characters are pleasant English people who live serenely until the grass begins to die - at which their personalities begin imperceptibly to change with the changes that creep over the landscape. The fearful national policies and immediate personal dangers which confront them are horrifying in their impact, and in the desperate obstacle race for safety and survival the reader will feel an irresistible involvement.
