The Man with the Golden Typewriter: Ian Fleming's Bond Letters by Fergus Fleming
5.0
An essential listen for any James Bond fan who wants to better understand 007’s “biographer”, Ian Fleming.
There’s a huge range of correspondence between Fleming and various publishers, agents, illustrators, friends, family and fans, all read by Julian Rhind-Tutt in the audiobook.
A few important areas are skipped over (such as the Thunderball court case), but in many cases there are other books or resources that cover them in greater detail (The Battle for Bond in the case of Thunderball.
A real joy to listen to.
