The book I mentioned in conjunction with William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, is actually by another author, one John Wyndham. Scratch the surface of academic fortitude and you often find more than you bargained for. Budding literary types find this sort of thing fascinating, I may clear the post up later, mothballed for now; my reference page for the post runs:
i) William Golding – The Lord of the Flies. pub by Faber & Faber.
ii) John Wyndham – The Chrysalids. pub by Penguin Books.
