Maybe there is a beast… maybe it's only us.

Here we offer the first U.K. edition, stated very early 3rd impression, of the classic coming-of-age novel, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, published by Faber and Faber, Ltd., London, in 1955.  The book comes wrapped in a high-quality facsimile of the first edition dust jacket you can only get here, digitally remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers.

Text block has a lean. Sunning and edgewear to boards (please see pics.) Intact endpapers have writing at front and rear. A few light moisture stains within.  Very tight and square binding, very clean, bright, and crisp text. 248 pages, the book measures approximately 7.75 x 5.25-inches.

This iconic first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a marvelous gift.
