| Description: | It centers around the small English village of Midwich where the entire population, and all within a 2 mile radius of the village, are suddenly rendered unconscious for a day and a half. When the phenomena passes, all women of child bearing age are pregnant, and nine months later give birth to oddly emotionless blonde-haired children with golden eyes and terrifying abilities.
The Midwich Cuckoos is probably better known to most people as the 1960 film “Village of the Damned” and the 2022 TV series “The Midwich Cuckoos”. [Suggest a different description.] |

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)
