[Dragaera] On Endings

>I was a big Wyndham fan in grade 7.

Dunno about John Wyndham, but it wasn't _Day of the Triffids_. I never 
imagined a Triffid as being tripod like, for that matter. That book left an 
indelible impression, though. I can very easily remember my childhood 
imaginings of the triffids herding blind people through Trafalgar Square (or 
wherever that particular scene took place).

Ah, Google to the rescue! The series I referred to is _The White Mountains_, 
_The City of Gold and Lead_, and _The Pool of Fire_ by John Christopher.

I'd forgotten about Harry. I'm not attached to him like his many fans are 
but I've read all of the books. I'll be interested to see the conclusion to 
his story. If he dies as some are predicting, I expect there'll be much 
wailing and gnashing of teeth over it. *heh*
