Ian Fleming                Cubby Broccoli


Biographies/Autobiographies:

It is probably the most fitting to have a biography of the literary creator of James Bond as well as the man responsible for the movie version of the secret agent.

 

Lycett, Andrew. Ian Fleming. London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1995. [Davis PR6056.L4 Z762 1995]

 - This book chronicles the life of Ian Lancaster Fleming, the creator of the James Bond character. Lycett discusses Fleming’s childhood, his tenure as a spy in Britain’s MI5 intelligence, and his fiction-writing career. Fleming’s life is worth noting, as some James Bond characters and plotlines are loosely based on Fleming’s own experiences.

 

Broccoli, Albert R. When the Snow Melts. London : Boxtree, 1998. [Davis PN1998.3.B759 A3 1998]

 - Written near the end of his life, this autobiography of Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli describes the life of the producer of the James Bond films.
