Clarke, Arthur C - Childhood's End (Published in by The Folio Society in 2023. Illustrated by Grace Aldrich. Foreword by Arthur C. Clarke. Preface by the author. Arthur C. Clarke's seminal sci-fi novel Childhood's End charts a utopian alien invasion with a surprising twist. This beautiful new edition features the spectacular artwork of Grace Aldrich. It is the late 1970s and the United States and Soviet Republic are on the cusp of entering outer space. However, just as space travel is within their grasp, alien spaceships descend over the earth's major cities ... five years later, the Overlords have taken over the world. American illustrator Grace Aldrich elevates the tension and uneasiness in the narrative to present the strange new reality in six unnerving illustrations, while her striking binding design features the pivotal character, Jan Rodricks. Bound in printed and blocked cloth. Set in Berling with Helvetica as display. 248pp. 5 full-page colour illustrations. Black & white illustrated title page spread. Slipcase printed and matt laminated. 9.5" x 6.75". )
