Talk:Chocky

Redirected
Text from parallel article incorrectly titled "Chalky", now changed to Redirect page:


 * A book written by John Wyndham. It is along the same lines as the story The Shining by Stephen King in that it is about a boy, who has an imaginary friend.  This imaginary friend however is not evil, but an alien who has traveled with just his mind (via astral traveling) into the boys head.  The story is about the boys family, and the boy trying to cope with 'CHALKY' the alien.

First Publication?
Chocky appeared in serial form in the mid-1960s, in a British girls' comic - possibly June and School Friend - which must be unique for a science-fiction novel. It was an illustrated text story rather than a picture strip. Does anyone know if this was its first publication? Robina Fox (talk) 18:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently it was in Princess, though no indication of the date. Robina Fox (talk) 21:06, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Splitting article into separate book and TV series articles
I will be attempting to improve the Chocky article by updating and expanding it. I have already created a new article Chocky (TV Series) reflecting the BBC TV series. I am less familiar with the TV series than I am with the novel and radio drama. I seek the assistance of anyone intimately familiar with the plot differences between the TV series and novel. -- Rydra Wong (talk) 21:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
