Resumen
This book celebrates the greatest of all post-war British fictional icons. For too long the films of the Bond novels have overshadowed their literary source - the bizarre, baroque imagination of Ian Fleming. Full rein is given in this anthology to Flemings wonderful creations - the magically deranged villans, their appaling sidekicks and their surreal lairs, from Dr Nos guano island to Blofelds Garden of Death. Fleming emerges too from this book as a remarkable writer on nature (albeit nature of a purely malevolent variety) and as an inventor of extraordinarily imagined set pieces - the source of the films enormous success.
