Lord of the Flies Golding William (2026)

One of the BBCs 100 Novels That Changed Our World, this thought-provoking novel by William Golding follows a group of schoolboys who are the only survivors of a plane crash on a desert island. By day, they explore dazzling beaches, gorge on fruit, seek shelter and tear 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. Cut off from society, they must create their own, but their innocent games soon develop into something far more dangerous. This edition includes an introduction by executive producer Joel Wilson, director Marc Munden and writer Jack Thorne.
