In commemoration of what would be William Golding's centennial birthday, the Bodleian Library at Oxford will be displaying the original manuscript of The Lord of the Flies.  The exhibit was curated by the author's daughter, Judy Carver, and will also include several first editions of the author's works, family photographs, and the Nobel Prize he received in 1983 for The Lord of the Flies.  According to the Fine Books & Collections' blog:

First impressions of the first edition (with the dust jacket) from Faber start at about $3,000 online.  The first American edition, published in 1955 by Coward-McCann, commands about half that price.  Ironically, the first American edition is scarcer than the British edition.  2,383 copies of the first American edition were sold before the book initially went out of print.  The first British edition, meanwhile, went through a print run of 3,040 copies.

The exhibit will be on display at the Bodleian Library through December 23, 2011.
