James Bond exhibition - for your eyes only

200x190.jpgHe may be seen as quintessentially English, but James Bond was in many ways a product of Jamaica.

It was at his Jamaican home 'Goldeneye' where Ian Fleming wrote his first book Casino Royale in 1951, drawing inspiration from the people and locations around him.

Now Fleming’s original desk and chair are set to go on show at an exhibition 'For your eyes only' at the Imperial War Museum detailing the authors life and that of his most famous creation, Bond, James Bond.
Also on display will be a selection of annotated Bond manuscripts and the ‘blood-splattered’ shirt worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.
