GOLDING
(William, 1911-1993, Author of ‘Lord of the Flies’)
Autograph Letter Signed to Peter Michielsen
telling him that “Unfortunately I shall not be her in June and July and in any case I have given up being interviewed....” 1 side 11¾” x 8¼” with original autograph envelope, Ebble Thatch, Bowerchalke, Salisbury, Wiltshire, 18th February
Golding won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for
Darkness Visible
in 1979, and the Booker Prize for
Rites of Passage
in 1980. In 1983, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, and was according to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography "an unexpected and even contentious choice". Having been appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1966 New Year Honours, Golding was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 1988 Birthday Honours. In September 1993, only a few months after his unexpected death, the First International William Golding Conference was held in France.
