Description

ƔI read Phyllis Bottomeƕs The Lifeline and saw that Mark Chalmers was Fleming, and that he had turned Chalmers into Bondƕ Nigel West. Good entertaining and rewarding readingƕ Kirkus 1946.

Phyllis Bottome was a highly regarded prolific author in the mid 20th century. With her husband Ernan Forbes Dennis, a former diplomat and spy, she set up a school in KitzbŸhel, Austria and it was there, after he was thrown out of Eton, that she taught Ian Fleming to write. Amongst her many bestsellers was The Mortal Storm made into a prescient anti-fascist film which became a Hollywood blockbuster starring James Stewart. She died in London in 1963.
