Ian Fleming's 1962 portrait by Amherst Villiers. ‘The crankshaft designer […] is making me look like a mixture between Nehru and Somerset Maugham.'

 

Ian and Ann with their son Caspar who was born in August 1952.

 

Daniel George, one of the editorial team whom Fleming dubbed the ‘Capians'.

 

Cape's main editor, Michael Howard. At first doubtful about the Bond novels he later conceded they were all that kept Jonathan Cape in business.

 

William Plomer, the South African-born poet who was Fleming's friend and literary mentor.

 

A fifteenth-century surgeon's guide to battle injuries that caught Fleming's fancy. ‘Do you think we should re-title “Doctor No” “The Wound Man” and use it as a frontispiece?' he asked Plomer.

 

Fleming at his
Sunday Times
desk in 1958.

 

Fleming and his mother Eve outside the Law Courts during her 1957 battle for the affections of Monty, Marquis of Winchester.

 

Back at court, this time with Ann in 1963, for the Thunderball dispute – ‘a maddening copyright case which […] is going to be a stupendous nuisance'.
