"To the Ends of the Earth", William Golding"s great sea trilogy, presents the extraordinary story of a warship"s troubled journey to Australia in the early 1800s. Told through the pages of Edmund Talbolt"s journal - with equal measure of wit and disdain - it records the mounting tensions and growing misfortunes aboard the ancient ship. An instant maritime classic, and one of Golding"s finest achievements, the trilogy was adapted into a major three-part Mastpiece Theatre drama in 2006.
