I was bewildered by Hannah Betts’ description of To Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies as “slim, 20th-century tomes” suitable only for 11- to 12-year-olds (Literature to be listed, 8 October). William Golding said he had written Lord of the Flies out of the conviction that “man makes evil as bees make honey”.
