The biography of the man who created James Bond, one of the world's most famous and popular fictional characters. Fleming remained an enigmatic figure who disclaimed comparisons with his creation, but John Pearson - with access to Fleming's private papers - draws many parallels between the two. Pearson worked with Fleming for several years on "The Sunday Times". His prizewinning first novel "Gone To Timbuctoo" was published in 1963, followed by "Bluebird and the Deda Lake", the story of Donald Campbell's 1964 land speed record.
