*** MISSING BOOK *** PEARSON, John - The Life of Ian Fleming - (Hardcover)

*** THIS BOOK IS MISSING, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER YET ***  Black book still in great condition - Companion Book Club Edition - sadly no wrapper - picture shows the Augustus John portrait of Fleming which appears in the book.  >>>  Pearson, who worked with Fleming at the Sunday Times, based this biography on his own memories of Fleming, on Fleming's private papers, and on a series of interviews with an extraordinary collection of Fleming's contemporaries – family, friends, enemies, teachers, colleagues, mistresses, and former spies from around the world.   First published in 1966, John Pearson's famous biography remains the definitive account of how only Ian Fleming could have dreamed up James Bond, for he led a life as colourful as anything in his fiction, which in turn became a covert autobiography. Charming, debonair and a ruthless womaniser, globetrotting from wartime Algiers to beachside Jamaica, Fleming was as elusive and opaque as his imaginary creation.    * James Bond *
