'Exciting, relevant and thought provoking.' STEPHEN KING
'One of my favourite books.' SUZANNE COLLINS
'Exemplary.' IAN MCEWAN
With an Introduction by Executive Producer Joel Wilson, Director Marc Munden and Writer Jack Thorne
'There aren't any grown-ups anywhere.'
A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors are a group of schoolboys. By day, they explore the dazzling beaches, gorging fruit, seeking shelter, and ripping off their uniforms to swim in the lagoon. At night, in the darkness of the jungle, they are haunted by nightmares of a primitive beast.
Orphaned by society, they must forge their own; but it isn't long before their innocent games devolve into something far more dangerous . . .

Author's Bio
William Golding was born in Cornwall and educated in Marlborough and Oxford. 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, before being made into a film by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding wrote eleven other novels, including the 1980 Booker Prize winning Rites of Passage. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983, was knighted in 1988 and died in 1993.
