What?¿! There was a real life Lord of the Flies saga.
Today I learned - there was a real-life "Lord of the Flies" scenario, four years after the book was published. How did I not know this? Why hasn't there been a movie based on a true story? Incredible - "boys had set up a small commune with food garden, hollowed-out tree trunks to store rainwater, a gymnasium with curious weights, a badminton court, chicken pens and a permanent fire, all from handiwork, an old knife blade and much determination." One boy broke his leg and they set the fracture and he healed. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months
