Before anyone knew what 007 stood for, and before we ever ordered our Martini "Shaken, not Stirred" there was a man named Ian Fleming. Fleming was a true man of the world: a real spy, an accomplished writer, and one of the original creators of the CIA. Fleming called upon all of these traits when he sat down at his home in Jamaica to write his first novel, Casino Royale, in 1952. Doug Redenius, Vice President of the Ian Fleming Foundation, revealed the man behind the legend in this engaging presentation. Sponsored by the Friends of the Kankakee Public Library.
