U.K. TRADE PAPERBACK [1981] FABER & FABER

28th UK impression with very rare cover. 

*Note - spine has cracking early book, but binding has been reinforced [see last photo].  Otherwise nice with some corner wear to cover / tanning to pages and wraps.


At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued.
