In 1953, William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies was rescued from a ‘slush pile’ of unsolicited manuscripts by Charles Monteith, a new young editor at the publishing house Faber & Faber.
It went on to sell over 25 million copies. Over the next forty years Monteith worked closely with Golding on every one of his novels. In this beautifully produced volume, Tim Kendall draws on both public and private archives to reveal the relationship between one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and his publisher.
