To John Betjeman, for example, five years his junior, a Marlborough schooling was a mark of wilful middle-classness. The family passports were straightaway altered to "Sir William and Lady Golding", while his journal takes a positive pride in what Carey calls "the grovelling attentions" of hotel managers and head waiters. Gong duly trousered, Golding's response to his newfound status was almost comically triumphal. "Are you kultivating my K?" ran a postcard to Faber's managing director, Matthew Evans. The secretary of state for education, at work on a book for Golding's publishers, had been nobbled at a banquet. Highly placed friends had been instructed to lobby. It had been preceded by some backstairs manoeuvring of a practically Trollopean cast. As John Carey notes, in one of this excellent biography's most amusing passages, the news was not altogether unheralded. Now, in the Queen's Birthday Honours List, followed the announcement of his knighthood. He had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature five years before. The apotheosis of William Golding's career probably came on 11 June 1988. Until Wulfe vanished, all of them were powerless loners, many of whom quietly moved to the Tri-Cities in the hope that the safety promised by Mercy and Adam’s pack would extend to them as well. And these are not just ordinary people but supernatural beings. Someone is taking people from locked rooms, from the aisles of stores, and even from crowded parties. So Mercy goes out to find her stalker-and discovers more than just Wulfe have disappeared. The mistress of the vampire seethe informs Mercy that the pack must produce Wulfe to prove their innocence, or the loose alliance between the local vampires and werewolves is over. But when he disappears, the Tri-Cities pack is blamed. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of “fun” is stalking Mercy, some may see it as no great loss. Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. A mystery, she was adopted by Corporal William ‘Bill’ Wynne, an air-crewman with the US 5th Air Force’s 26th Photo Reconnaissance Squadron. The GIs who discovered her presumed she had been some kind of Japanese army mascot, but it soon turned out that she understood neither commands rendered in Japanese nor English. In February 1944, as Japanese military advances threatened to engulf Australasia, a tiny, four-pound Yorkshire terrier was discovered hiding in a Japanese shell scrape amidst the thick jungles of Papua New Guinea. Smoky the Brave is the extraordinary, touching and true story of a heroic dog and her adoptive masters in the jungles of the Pacific War. Wynne sadly passed away in 2021, but he is survived by his loved ones who are determined to keep the memory of his and Smoky’s wartime story alive and to cherish its legacy. Wynne, who recounted his and Smoky’s wartime story in his own book entitled Yorkie Doodle Dandy A Memoir, which served as a reference for and is quoted in this book.
