- OTD 1922: Sam Youd (John Christopher) Writer of many dystopian novels, compelling to young me not just for his grim worldbuilding but their sour endings Most famous for The Tripods Trilogy, later a BBC1 series with an infamously (accidentally) bleak ending

- Sword of the Spirits was Sam's preferred YA dystopia that he wrote.

- 💙📚If 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
