He had an interest in writing early on in his life, more specifically when he was about seven years old (Liukkonen, Petri). Not many others have the ability to start writing at such a young age and have the ability to accomplish what William Golding did. He did not know at that time, though, that he would be writing for his job and he would become a world known
