Based on the novel Lord of the Flies (1954) by William Golding
Released in more than 25 countries, celebrating the 70 year anniversary of the original novel.
What are we? Humans? Or Animals? A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors are a group of schoolboys. By day they explore the dazzling beaches, by night they are haunted by nightmares. Orphaned by society, they must now forge their own; but it is not long before their innocent games take on a much darker hue. First published by Faber in 1954, William Golding's Lord of the Flies has sold millions of copies worldwide, been translated into forty-four languages and was made into two films. Fans of the novel include Ian McEwan, Suzanne Collins and Stephen King. It was selected as one of the BBC’s One Hundred Novels that shaped the world. Now it has been adapted as a graphic novel for the first time.
