I meant to post this yesterday on what would have been John Christopher's 103rd birthday but I forgot so, better late than never, here's a terrific BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of arguably his greatest work.

Cover of the tripods by John Christopher
Back cover: The Tripods are Coming! The Tripods are Coming! THE TRIPODS ARE HERE! Massive, alien machines, the Tripods had ruled Earth for hundreds of years and enslaved the minds and bodies of most adults through the silvery caps they made them wear. Determined to escape the ritual Capping ceremony, Will Parker runs away, heading for the distant White Mountains and the small rebel camp there, hoping to join their desperate attempts to overthrow the rule of the Tripods. The journey is long, the missions dangerous and the hope of survival very slim... John Christopher's almost unbearably exciting trilogy appears for the first time in one volume: The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, The Pool of Fire
EBay review Excellent condition excellently packaged! Great looking book - looking forward to revisiting this (and read the final book that wasn't filmed thanks to that idiot Michael Grade of the BBC)

Holiday #reading for #Scotland trip arrived. Note to selfβ¦ βoffensiveβ language not allowed when giving feedback on eBay! I altered βidiotβ to βbuffoonβ and that was OK apparently. In hindsight I prefer that! Going to use it more.

If it weren't for these three books, I may have landed in a very different career. All three were read at a young age and made a lifelong impression on me.

Book cover. The City of Gold and Lead by John Christopher (Tripods #2)
Book cover. The Pool of Fire by John Christopher (boy in balloon) (Tripods #3)
Book cover. When the Tripods Came by John Christopher (two boys running from Tripods) (Tripods 0.5)
Book cover. The White Mountains by John Christopher (Three boys running) (Tripods #1)
ππIf you want to introduce your kids to Sci Fi and just great reading you might want to try John Christopher's Tripod books, 4 of them. There were the initial 3 and a later prequel. Excellent series and I believe was also a TV series in the UK. #BlueSkyBooks #Tripods #JohnChristopher

Watching the Michael E. Briant 'In Conversation' on the #Blakes7 Season 1 Blu-ray. The interview covers his career from child-actor, to directing #DoctorWho, Blake's 7, #SecretArmy etc etc. He mentions #JohnChristopher (#Tripods) without whom this podcast wouldn't exist! @sylepress.bsky.social

If @NetflixUK are interested in new tv shows? How about the John Christopher trilogy, The Tripods, great for teens and adults. The BBC tried to film them but didn't have the technology we have today. #johnchristopher #thetripods
