Reader's note

The Death of Grass by John Christopher is a terrifying fantasy which invites comparison with the novels of John Wyndham. A new virus appears in China: it kills grass. Millions die of hunger. The West is alarmed: bread rationing may be needed. But few people foresee the desperate fight for survival, the panic, and the lapse into barbarism that are to come... John Christopher was born in 1922 and educated at Peter Symonds School, Winchester. During the Second World War he served in the Royal Corps of Signals. He is a writer whose early interests were conditioned by pre-war American science fiction, and his own books such as The Death of Grass and The World in Winter have had that favour, but the emphasis has been more on character than on scientific exploration.
