“In his house in
Jamaica, Ian Fleming used to write a thousand words in
the morning, then go snorkeling,
have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another
thousand words in the late afternoon, then more martinis
and glamorous women. In my house in London, I followed
this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch,
and the snorkeling.”

“He has an ability to write convincingly in whichever
period or genre he chooses... .Sebastian couldn’t
have written a better book to celebrate Ian’s 100th
birthday.”
