| Description: | One Wednesday morning William Masen woke up in hospital; it seemed like a Sunday it was so quiet. That was the day the world changed, the day man found himself at the mercy of the triffids, who turned out to be a good deal more intelligent than anyone suspected . . .
John Wyndham’s most famous novel, which has been filmed and serialised for television, is an unforgettable vision of an all-too-possible future, where one small error by man or machine results in a world where almost all the population is blind, and William and his girlfriend Josella must fight to survive the determined advance of the deadly walking plants.

Author Bio for Wyndham, John
John Wyndham (1903-1969) was an English science fiction writer. 'Wyndham' was the best known of his pen-names, his full name being John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris. Originally trained as a lawyer, he tried several careers before settling on writing. He characterized his books as "logical fantasy". His stories are typically set in normal English life in which some fantastic event occurs. His best known works include Day of the Triffids, The Kraken Wakes, and The Chrysalids. In particular the word 'triffid' has passed into the lexicon of the English language as referring to any imaginary dangerous plant. (Oxford Companion to English Literature)
