Is this John Wyndham's masterpiece? An astounding book!

While rereading John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids, I re-watched the 1981 TV series. While I was as underwhelmed by the series as I was in 1981, the book remains a classic, but did the illustrator actually read the book's description of the triffids?

After re-watching the 3 Chocky TV series, I re-read John Wyndham's book. He really was a phenomenal writer. The first series is faithful to the book. The second, expands the story very well. The third series is a letdown. It is generic children's sci-fi, very badly miscast and derailed by sidelining the main character who underpinned the whole story.

I'd decline the offer. Because a wormhole from my basement to some unrelocatable place on Earth is a dangerous unlocked back-door into my home via my basement.
It's a common #SciFi short story plot that the clever inventor/entrepreneur is caught short when xe does not realize that the magic remote viewing machine, or the space-time tunnel machine, works both ways.
Pawley's Peepholes, for example.
(Which IIRC is the title of a #JohnWyndham #SciFi short story in The Seeds of Time which defined the term.)
#JohnWyndham was a British SciFi author probably best known for #DayOfTheTriffids (empirically difficult to film) but I think #TheChrysalids is rather good.
