Lord of the Flies: The Graphic Novel

This is a graphic novel adaptation of Golding's famous story, retelling it in pictures and words. A group of English schoolboys is stranded on a remote island with no adults, and they try to build a working society. Fear, rivalry and the pull of hunting and power slowly pull the group apart. The visual format brings out the heat, danger and tension of the island, and offers a fresh way into a classic fable about civilisation and human nature. It suits readers new to the original as well as those who know it well.
