Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical car
Ian Fleming
Synopsis "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical car"
Ian Fleming's treasured classic soars in a deluxe edition featuring John Burningham's vibrant, full-color original illustrations. Famous for creating James Bond, Ian Fleming also loved fast cars -- and this passion inspired him to write his only children's book, penned for his young son, Caspar. Published fifty years ago in 1964, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car introduced the world to the thrilling adventures of the "crackpot" Pott family and the flying car with a mind of her own. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang became an instant bestseller that has been reinvented as a musical and a film (with a screenplay co-written by Roald Dahl) and has also inspired three sequels written by Frank Cottrell Boyce. To honor half a century of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Candlewick Press presents a full-color gift edition ready to zoom straight into hearts of a new generation.
(Reino Unido, 1908 - 1964). Su primer trabajo fue en la agencia de noticias Reuters. Su primera novela, Casino Royale, se publicó en 1953 y fue un éxito instantáneo. Fleming escribió otros doce libros de James Bond, dos obras de no ficción y el clásico infantil Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Los libros de Bond han vendido más de sesenta millones de copias y han recibido elogios de figuras como Raymond Chandler, quien llamó a Fleming "el escritor de novelas de suspense más contundente y motivador de Inglaterra" y el presidente Kennedy, quien admitió que Desde Rusia con amor, era uno de sus libros favoritos. Los libros inspiraron una serie de adaptaciones cinematográficas de gran éxito, que comenzó en 1961 con el estreno de Dr. No, protagonizada por Sean Connery como 007.
