• This quote does not talk in particular about one certain littlun, but it is the overall appearance of them all.

“They were dirty, not with the spectacular dirt of boys who have fallen into mud or been brought down hard on a rainy day. Not one of them was an obvious subject for a shower, and yet—hair, much too long, tangled here and there, knotted round a dead leaf or a twig; faces cleaned fairly well by the process of eating and sweating but marked in the less accessible angles with a kind of shadow; clothes, worn away, stiff like his own with sweat, put on, not for decorum or comfort but out of custom; the skin of the body, scurfy with brine—” (pdf 157).

From the novel Lord of the Flies, the Character Henry, who is also a known as a littlun, appears to be the biggest one of the Littluns, but he is smaller than the Big ones. Before Henry came to the island, he was apart of the choir, and when they arrived on the island, he was wearing his choir jacket, but he later took it off as we read on. In the novel, Henry showed interest in nature. Most of the Littluns, including Henry, were describes as being little boys, with dark, freckled, and they are all dirty, and look as if they have fallen into mud or been brought down hard on a rainy day. It is very obvious that Henry has not showered for a while, and his hair is long, tangled and knotted. Henry’s clothes were worn away, and stiff with his own sweat. Henry and the rest of the Littluns appeared to be around 6 years old.
