Biography
British writer of adventure fiction, the creator of "James Bond." The scion of wealthy parents, he was a goof-off kid, scraping his way through private schools. He first worked as a reporter, then as a WW II spy for British Naval Intelligence. It was only when he turned his attention to fiction that he met with real success. His tongue-in-cheek novels about the fantastic exploits of James Bond won him international fame and led to a series of successful movies. His other books include the children's story, "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang."
Died 8/12/1964; Canterbury, England.
