London, October 31: A real-life Elizabethan secret agent, who spied for Sir Francis Drake, might have been the inspiration behind British author Ian Fleming’s creation of the fictional character of James Bond.
A journal recording the exploits of John Bond, transcribed by his descendants recently, suggests that Fleming’s Bond shares his name and his family motto—‘The world is not enough’—with their ancestor.
The family believe that Fleming might have borrowed key elements of their story for his fictional character.
According to reports, the Bond family resided in Dorset, a few miles from Durnford House, the prep school where Fleming spent an unhappy few years of his childhood.
