The remarkable literary collaboration between a Nobel Prizewinning novelist and his editor of more than forty years.

Three people have been of major importance and influence in my life and you are one of them. There is a way in which I am as a writer at least partly your creation.

-- William Golding to Charles MonteithIn 1953, William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies was rescued from a 'slush pile' of unsolicited manuscripts by Charles Monteith, a new young editor at the publishing house Faber & Faber. It went on to sell over 25 million copies. Over the next forty years Monteith worked closely with Golding on every one of his novels.

These letters tell the story of their remarkable collaboration. They chart Golding's transformation from unknown middle-aged schoolmaster to knighted Nobel Prizewinner, and they tell the story of a deep and mutually rewarding friendship, as 'Dear Monteith' and 'Dear Golding' become 'Dear Charles' and 'Dear Bill'.

In this beautifully produced, stitch-bound volume, Tim Kendall draws on both public and private archives to reveal the relationship between one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and his publisher, both men who considered themselves, for different reasons, to be outsiders. Their correspondence sheds fascinating light on both the mysteries of the writing process and the vagaries of the literary world.

Generous, amusing, acerbic, intimate and often irreverent, these letters encompass gossip, reading recommendations and stories of Greek island adventures as well as detailed discussion of titles, characters and Golding's dreadful spelling.

Super chewer approved
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
One of the few safe chewy bones for a super chewer. Very durable, an appropriate price, and a good size for our 70lb pitty.

The best toys for dogs I could ever find
Size: X Large
I have bull terriers. They chew wood for fun... But this brand in the appropiate size and in any shape has been the best thing for them! They last for a very long time (they have not even dented them and they've had one (another shape) for the last two years. Now I bought these bones so that they can play together, each graving one side of it. They have so much fun! They are worth every penny.

Best chew toy
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
Kong toys are the best. They hold up through the heavy chewing stage. Definitely recommend if you have a heavy chewer.

Not for aggressive chewers
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My dog absolutely loved this Kong Goodie Bone at first and was super excited about it. Unfortunately, it didn’t hold up nearly as long as I expected. Within just a few hours she had already torn pieces off of it, and I ended up finding little red rubber pieces all over the house. I wouldn’t recommend this for aggressive chewers at all. It may work better for lighter chewers or dogs that are gentler with toys, but mine destroyed it way too quickly. Disappointing because she really did enjoy it while it lasted.
