Fleming was the author of the Original James Bond character and novels, which were adapted into popular films.

"Bond 25" is anticipated for fall 2019 and sees Daniel Craig returning as the dapper and dignified spy.
He also wrote the well known children's book "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car", among other works.
So raise your drink - "Shaken not Stirred" to Ian Fleming, "father" of James Bond.
