Editorial Reviews
“The car is magical. So is the book.”
—Vogue
“From the same stable as Thunderball,
et al.: same excitement, same wonderful imagination. The car really lives.”
—Scotsman (Edinburgh)
“Fleming’s rollicking story of the Potts family and their magical car is a great family read-aloud, with plenty of action.” —Library Journal
“Delightful! Sounding confiding, cheeky, and very
British indeed, actor David Tennant relates Fleming’s 1964 story of a magical
car…Tennant narrates with relish, especially when he gets to sound her
GA-GOOOO-GA klaxon. It’s the perfect way to introduce a new audience to this
charming British classic.” —AudioFile
Ian Fleming was born in London in 1908. He was educated at Eton and worked as a journalist in Moscow and a banker and stockbroker in London before becoming personal assistant to the Director
of Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. He wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, at Goldeneye, his home in Jamaica, in 1952. Since then James Bond has gone on to become a
global phenomenon.
