His first job was at Reuters news agency, after which he worked briefly as a stockbroker before working in Naval Intelligence during World War Two. His first novel, \u003cem\u003eCasino Royale\u003c\/em\u003e, was published in 1953 and was an instant success. Fleming went on to write thirteen other Bond books as well as two works of nonfiction and the children's classic \u003cem\u003eChitty Chitty Bang Bang\u003c\/em\u003e. The Bond books have earned praise from figures such as Raymond Chandler, who called Fleming \"the most forceful and driving writer of thrillers in England\" and President Kennedy, who named \u003cem\u003eFrom Russia with Love\u003c\/em\u003e as one of his favorite books. The books inspired a hugely successful series of film adaptations that began in 1962 with the release of \u003cem\u003eDr. No\u003c\/em\u003e. He was married to Ann O'Neill, with whom he had a son, Caspar. He died in 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50614530408722,"sku":"9780063299078","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_537679fd-b2ce-45e0-9b8b-3001bef998e7.jpg?v=1764072741","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/octopussy-and-the-living-daylights-a-james-bond-adventure-9780063299078","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
