"The most original piece of imaginative fiction since Wells wrote
"The War of the Worlds."" - "Birmingham Mail"
"Against the novels written for wholesale consumption, the
fantasies of Frank Baker are an unfailing delight." - "New York
Times"
"The story . . . is ingenious, and succeeds in creating a sinister
atmosphere." "Time and Tide"
Those who are old enough to remember still speak of the days
"before the birds came." For the birds did come, descending on
London by the thousands or even millions, inexplicably and
seemingly out of nowhere. At first, the birds did little but
congregate and watch, and Londoners found them amusing, if perhaps
a bit odd. But then they began to show their sinister side:
attacking, maiming, and even killing in incidents of tremendous
brutality and violence. Were they a force of nature, or a
supernatural manifestation? No one knew. The only thing that was
clear was that the birds' aim was the destruction of mankind, and
no one had any idea how to stop them. . . .
"The Birds" (1936) went largely unnoticed when originally
published, but after the release of Alfred Hitchcock's popular film
in 1963, Frank Baker (1908-1983) threatened to sue, believing the
film had borrowed from his book. "The Birds" was last reprinted in
1964, in a "revised" edition that in fact failed to incorporate
hundreds of additions, deletions, and corrections Baker had made.
This new edition is based on the author's personal copy of the
revised text, making this definitive edition available for the
first time. Also included is a new introduction by Hitchcock
scholar Ken Mogg.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1917 Edition.
