Published by Faber and Faber Ltd, 1971,  price clipped dust jacket,size,178 pages. boards & dust jacket shows some light edge wear otherwise contents clean & complete.

Three short novels show Golding at his subtle, ironic, mysterious best. The Scorpion God depicts a challenge to primal authority as the god-ruler of an ancient civilization lingers near death. Clonk Clonk is a graphic account of a crippled youth's triumph over his tormentors in a primitive matriarchal society. Envoy Extraordinary (first published in 1956 in "Sometime, Never") is a tale of Imperial Rome where the emperor loves his illegitimate son more than his own arrogant, loutish heir. 

William Golding  was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988. He died at his home in the summer of 1993. The Double Tongue, a novel left in draft at his death, was published in June 1995.
