The Ladder and the Tree
Based on Lord of the Flies by William Golding
The author of Lord of the Flies and Free Fall recalls his childhood-a childhood of many terrors, with a cemetery over the wall, ancient cellars, Latin to be learned-recalls his ebullient father, and the chestnut tree which became the boy's inviolable retreat.
