Louis Golding, Noted Jewish Novelist, Dead; Was Author of 30 Novels

Louis Golding, prominent Anglo-Jewish novelist, whose outstanding work has been judged to be his “Magnolia Street,” died here yesterday at the age of 62. He had been in a hospital for a month, since he underwent surgery. Since the early twenties, Mr. Golding had written more than 30 books.

Born in Manchester, England, Mr. Golding earned all his schooling through scholarships. Shortly before his illness he was working on a history of the Jewish people. He was a frequent visitor to Israel. About British Jewry, he wrote: “We English Jews belong to the Jewish race, not the Anglo-Saxon race, but we belong to the polity of Englishmen, and our fathers, brothers and sons have died for England without making any more fuss about it than a Mayfair Duke or a Dorset peasant.”
