The white mountains by john christopher5/13/2023 (This was around 1980.) That year our teacher read Ray Bradbury stories (“The Fog Horn” and “All Summer in a Day” being particularly memorable from that time), Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time (of course)–and The White Mountains by John Christopher. Fourth grade was the last year in which teachers read to the class as part of the daily curriculum. I was lucky enough to have a fourth-grade teacher who loved science fiction. A enormous dome atop three articulated legs menaces two boys while drawing a third boy toward the dome via a retractable tentacle. In which I make an effort to fill some of the gaps in my knowledge of the science fiction and fantasy published before 2000 (or “in the 1900’s,” as my daughter would say, but that just makes me feel old).Įdition read: Second Collier Books edition 1988 Cover: The Tripods Trilogy by John Christopher.
