The Midwich Cuckoos

Paperback. English. Publisher: Penguin Books. 1957. In fair condition. Midwich: peaceful, charming even, but a nowhere place, where nothing happens. Then, something remarkable occurs- remarkable and quietly terrible. And now there are strangers here, golden-eyed children, born to the women of the village, but not of them. For they are other, different and powerful. They came that late-summer evening, when the village and its inhabitants fell into an enforced and lengthy sleep...and then awoke to the slow realization that nothing would ever be the same.
