Ours - a very nice, almost excessively polite man- had to read out the word 'bollocks' in Lord of the Flies and god the anticipation in our wretched infantile adolescent class. And he really went for it, bellowing it out properly so that it silenced any possible sniggering. I admired him deeply.

Ever since its publication in 1954, Golding’s ‘Lord of the Flies’ has retained a powerful presence in English literature. The inspiration for the troubling events that ensue, Dr Nicola Presley argues here, can be found in Golding's own wartime experiences.👇
