Editor's Notes
Some of the events he grew up with.
In the book you can really see how the boys turn into savages kill (stabb) piggy.Some of Golding's favorite childhood books were Tarzan of the Apes, Coral Island, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. All of these books descibe man as a basically good creature who struggles to avoid the evils of society. The island setting for Lord of the Flies and the names Ralph, Jack, and Simon have been taken from Coral Island.
