Golding and Melchett had a lengthy friendship, Sinclair would later state that knowing Golding had been his greatest inspiration and privilege. Association copies of Golding's works are rare. "William Golding was the only writer I have ever pursued. An Angry Young novel I wrote in three weeks when up at Cambridge, The Breaking of Bumbo, outsold Lord of the Flies that year for Faber & Faber. This was ludicrous, but it was followed by Golding's kindness when I wrote to him. He sent me an open invitation to visit him by the watercress beds at Bowerchalke." - Andrew Sinclair.
