William Golding. Hand written one page letter to John Arlott dated 9th November (1971?) thanking him for a book (probably 'Fred') and 'flattering inscription - that is unless the �€š�„úmaster hand�€š�„ù refers to my bowling, which might once upon a time indeed have fulfilled most of the requirements in the advertisement for a curate: low church, slow left-arm round the wicket'. Golding enjoyed the book but was 'appalled by its picture of Cricket as a mixture of warfare, total, urban, guerrilla and patriotic...'. Golding suggests that the book tends to confirm some people's view that 'Yorkshire should negotiate separately with the common market!' The letter is signed 'Ever, Bill Golding'. G/VG - cricket
William Golding, 1911-1993, novelist, playwright and poet, Nobel prize winner, author of 'Lord of the Flies'. D.R. Allen in his biography of Arlott mentions Golding sending a copy of 'Rites of Passage' to Arlott who used to read pieces for him in his BBC poetry-producer days.
