Synopsis
The Chrysalids is a science fiction novel by John Wyndham, first published in 1955 by Michael Joseph. It is the least typical of Wyndham's major novels, but is regarded by some people as his best. The novel was adapted for BBC radio by Barbara Clegg in 1982 and for the theater by playwright David Harrower in 1999.
