The Life of Ian Fleming

The Life of Ian Fleming

"The Life of Ian Fleming" is a biography of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond and author of the children's book "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". The biography was written by John Pearson, Fleming's assistant at the London "Sunday Times," in 1966. Pearson later wrote the official, fictional-biography "" in 1973. "The Life of Ian Fleming" was one of the first biographies of Ian Fleming and is considered a collectible book by many James Bond fans, since Pearson would become the third, official James Bond author.

Future editions of the "The Life of Ian Fleming" were altered after film producer Kevin McClory alleged that parts of the biography were untrue regarding the novel and film rights to "Thunderball".

The 1967 American paperback edition was retitled, "Alias James Bond — The Life Of Ian Fleming", no other edition has this title.
