So for some reason postmen fucking hate santa and christmas, and one of my present only arrived yesterday.
I didnt mind the wait though because it is beautiful and made me smile a hell of a lot. I have not really put it down.
It is a copy of Lord of the Flies, a novel that I read at school and have loved ever since, but produced by the Folio Society. If you dont know who The Folio Society are, check them out, they make high quality, limited edition runs of classic and well loved books in order for people to have a unique copy of their favourite books that they can cherish forever. It is clear time, effort and care goes into each release. I first wanted this due to seeing Sam Webers incredibly amazingly wonderful illustrations he had done for the publication. To say this boy is good is a massive understatement. Each illustration is incredibly well thought out and just beautiful, theres no other word. He did an amazing job on the front cover too, so simple but completely spot on
