Long-awaited new editions of Peter Dickinson's cult classics England in the future -- but an England that is less rather than more civilised. This is the time of The Changes -- a time when people, especially adults, have grown to hate machines and returned to a more primitive lifestyle. It is a time of hardship and fear...Margaret and Jonathan rescue an American spy who has come to England to investigate the uncanny Changes.

The trilogy is not sequential; rather, each book explores a different aspect of England during the time that simply became known as The Changes.
