John Carey's recently published biography of the late William Golding* - who wrote other books besides the great Lord of the Flies - reveals among other endearing things that once when not entirely sober Golding destroyed the Bob Dylan puppet a friend of his owned and buried it in the garden believing it to be Satan. No more deluded, surely, than shouting for "Maggie's Farm!" at one of Dylan's concerts.
