What if a quiet English village wasn't as sleepy as it seemed, but instead harbored a secret as mysterious as it is alien?

Learn about Wyndham's life, from his full name to his intriguing wartime role as a censor, and explore the haunting metaphor of the cuckoo. Discover the strange inspiration behind the village of Midwich and the untold story of Wyndham's abandoned sequel, "Midwich Main."
