Description
Aime de Jongh's stunning reimagining has a visceral impact all its own. The Times
Beautifully imagined ... so poignant and relevant. CHRIS MOULD
Just as compelling and evocative as Golding's world-shaking masterpiece. Comics Review
Before The Stand and The Hunger Games, before Battle Royale and Yellowjackets, there was Lord of the Flies.
A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors, a group of schoolboys. By day, they explore the dazzling beaches. By night, they are haunted by nightmares of a primitive beast and of what they've lost.
'There aren't any grown-ups anywhere.'
Orphaned by society, they must forge their own; but it isn't long before the group is split, and their innocent games take a dangerous turn.
'What are we? Humans? Or Animals?'
For the first time, from acclaimed artist Aime de Jongh, comes the stunning graphic novel adaptation of this classic story, one of the BBC's '100 Novels that shaped our World'.

About the Author
William Golding (1911 - 1993) was born in Cornwall and educated in Marlborough and Oxford. Before becoming a writer, he was an actor, lecturer, small-boat sailor, musician and schoolteacher. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy and took part in the D-Day operation and liberation of the Netherlands. Lord of the Flies, his first novel, was turned down by several publishers but rescued from the 'reject pile' at Faber and published in 1954. It became a modern classic selling millions of copies, translated into 35 languages and made into a film by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding wrote eleven other novels, a play and two essay collections. He won the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988 and died in 1993. www.william-golding.co.uk
