Lord of the Flies/Trivia
- Shout-Out: Golding wrote Lord of the Flies partly to subvert children's adventure literature, in particular The Coral Island by R.M. Ballantyne, which also provided the names of Ralph and Jack. The Naval officer even has the following line:
"I know. Jolly good show. Like the Coral Island."
