About The Author

William Golding

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.
