What began as a simple fan letter developed into a series of questions, which he was kind enough to reply to at length: from this correspondence, with John Christopher's agreement, I have compiled the “interview” which follows.īlume, Judy Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing New York: Dutton, 1972.
Unlike other writers who keep a high public profile, he has not spoken at conferences on children's literature or published essays which present or defend his point of view.Įarly in 1983 I wrote to John Christopher. He prefers to let his books speak for themselves. Christopher has not replied to these criticisms. Some critics, such as John Rowe Townsend (in Written for Children), have accused John Christopher of an underlying pessimism, or of male chauvinism. His Sword trilogy, “The Prince in Waiting,” “Beyond the Burning Lands,” and “The Sword of the Spirits,” has been reissued by Puffin in a single volume. Similarly his children's Tripods trilogy, The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, and The Pool of Fire, were all runners-up to the Guardian Award, while The Guardians won the Guardian award for 1971. His adult novel The Death of Grass was runner-up for the International Fantasy Award when Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings won first prize.
