Publisher Description
A fascinating collection of rarely seen journalism and other writings by Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond series. Narrated by Julian Rhind-Tutt!
Ian Fleming was best known for bringing to life the legendary character of James Bond, one of the most beloved and enduring icons of our time, but he was perhaps even more interesting than his creation. His career in Naval Intelligence and extensive travels around the world gave Fleming a keen eye and the authority to write on a wide range of topics beyond Bond’s adventures.
This collection contains a selection of journalism and other writings by Fleming, covering his wartime experiences, reflections on crime and espionage, and the process of writing his novels, among other topics. Listeners will feel like they are right beside Fleming, immersed in his world as he works to meet the deadline for his next Bond novel, or participates in a mortifying golf tournament, or befriends an octopus in his beloved Jamaica. This audiobook gives dimension to the man behind the myth, bringing life to his words and providing a unique glimpse into Fleming’s world.
