Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, February 1972.
Preamble:
Quotes from reviews of John Christopher's novels: "strange, though always believable" . . ."terrifying story" . . . "written with fluency, color, and elegance" . . . "sensitive character development" . . . "insights often alarming" . . . "special kind of excitement" . . . "for best effects, read after midnight" . . . and "if the H.G. Wells of the fantastic stories has any true successor, it is fellow Englishman, John Christopher" . . .
We think you will find "The Island of Bright Birds" moving and disturbing, and chillingly neogothic . . .
