William Golding and the Big Jubilee Read | Graham Greene | Steps at St Paul’s Cathedral | Priti Patel’s TV lesson | A new title for The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe
Surely the biggest omission from the jubilee book list is William Golding’s Lord of the Flies? But I guess a committee that thinks ER Braithwaite’s To Sir, With Love is a major novel is hardly going to buy into Golding’s more dystopian view of children (The God of Small Things to Shuggie Bain: the Queen’s jubilee book list, 18 April).

• No Graham Greene in the Big Jubilee Read? But The Bone People is included? Thanks, “experts” – now I know what not to read.
