Welcome to the literary world of James Bond 007
|
In February 1952, Ian Fleming borrowed the name of an American ornithologist, sat down at his Jamaican getaway and wrote Casino Royale. Nearly 70 years later, James Bond remains a global phenomenon and is arguably the most enduring character in the history of fiction. James Bond Books is dedicated to the literary world of 007: his creator, the authors that followed, and the countless volumes of non-fiction work that explore every aspect of this remarkable character. |
