"Then & Now: Lord of the Flies at Seventy" will run from 11th to 25th September 2024 in the The Bindery’s gallery. Curated in partnership with Chris Walker, the exhibition delves behind the scenes of the publication story of William Golding’s classic, featuring Aimée de Jongh’s original artwork for the graphic-novel adaptation.
It will be open to the public between 9am and 5pm on weekdays. There will also be a special event on 18th September, at which the author’s daughter Judy Golding will discuss the novel and its legacy with de Jongh.
