Page "John Wyndham" Paragraph 5

After the war Wyndham returned to writing, inspired by the success of his brother who had had four novels published.

He altered his writing style and by 1951, using the John Wyndham pen name for the first time, wrote the novel The Day of the Triffids.

His prewar writing career was not mentioned in the book's publicity, and people were allowed to assume that it was a first novel from a previously unknown writer.
