The rest of Combe Down and Monkton Combe
Our block covers the Owners and occupants of 109, 113, 115 & 117 Church Road, Combe Down. The rest of Combe Down and Monkton Combe does what it says on the tin!
If you've read the Introduction then you will know that when I started this, the idea was just to find out when our house was built but that, somehow, it expanded as a project to look at Combe Down, as per the map in the intro.
Clearly doing the older houses and the people that lived there will take some time, so what you see is what you get for the rest of the area as it gets done.
Rather than use every resource I have relied more on the census for 10 years snap shots, filling in with directories when it seems sensible to me so to do. Obviously that means that some of the fine detail will be lost, but it's really not feasible to mention every person who lived somewhere in every year. Eventually I hope to fill in some of the gaps.
Dial House, De Montalt Place, Combe Down
Isabella Place, like Claremont House, 113 – 117 Church Road and Hopecote (originally 1 – 3 Claremont Buildings) was built about 1805. Claremont House, 113 – 117 Church Road and 1 – 3 Claremont Buildings were all, originally 2 storeys and '2up 2down'…
The Hadley Estate on Combe Down had come about when Edward Layton (abt 1730 – 1805) had bought some of the land being auctioned by Thomas Ralph Maude 2nd Viscount Hawarden (1767 – 1807)…
De Montalt Place was, of course, the first housing on Combe Down (rather than in Monkton Combe). It's very well know that Ralph Allen built housing for his workers bought the quarries…
Hope Cote hotel 1950
The Rev Reginald Guy Bryan (1819 – 1912) was living at 6 De Montalt Place in 1901, together with his third wife Caroline Letitia Gore (1843 – 1920). She was…
The Parsonage later The Vicarage later The Old Vicarage
Holy Trinity church was consecrated on 29th June 1835 but there was nowhere for the vicar to live. An appeal to build a Parsonage was launched in 1836 in The Bath Chronicle but…
Claremont Buildings later Hopecote
Prior to Hopecote there were three houses: 1 – 3 Claremont Buildings. Like Isabella Place, Claremont House and 113 – 117 Church Road they were built about 1805…
Detail from Cotterell's map of 1852 showing Eastern end of Church Road, Combe Down
Church Road villas
Cotterell's map makes it clear that before 1852 the Church Road villas that existed at the East end of Church Road were The Brow (and Brow Lodge which is said to have been. originally, a…
From the extract from Ralph Allen's tithe map of 1761 – 1762 it's simple to see that The Avenue is the oldest road in Combe Down village apart from Summer Lane. At the time it was the only road and carried his wooden railway for…
Belmont Villas
It is clear from Cotterell's map of 1852 that no housing existed on Belmont at the time, though the line of what would become the road is clear. It is also clear that all the Belmont villas were built by 1904.
Drawings of Lodge Style by Voysey
Quarry Bottom / Rise / Vale was built after 1805 and probably sometime between about 1810 and 1825 as we know from "Old John Greenway's" account what Combe Down was like before that. De Montalt House was, apparently, built about 1848.
Greendown Place and Greendown Terrace
Greendown Place and Greendown Terrace are on either side of the Forester and Flower (previously The Forrester's Arms) pub on Bradford Road opposite Mulberry Park. The area that is Mulberry Park and previously the Admiralty offices (MoD), used to be known as Green Down or Collibee's Down after…
Tucking Mill about 1905
By the Combe Grove area I mean Shaft Road and Brassknocker Hill. The details from Thorpe's map of 1742 give a clear idea of what was built at that time. Combe Hill House and the Brassknocker Inn can be seen on Brassknocker. Shaft Road is not quite so clear, though Ivy Cottages, Combe Grange and the Old Farmhouse and Tithe Barn might fit the bill.
The Tucking Mill area is named after a process in the woollen industry known as tucking or fulling in which cloth is cleaned and thickened. Pairs of massive wooden blocks pounded Fuller's earth (a clay like material) into the wool to produce a heavy felted cloth.
Entry Hill's most important role, as its name implies, was for much of its life to be a part of the route to and from Bath to the South West. It was built by the Romans on older tracks and continued to be used, but not maintained after Rome left c 410 A.D.

Elite Scholars Academy returns to state championship match
By. Darius Goodman
Elite Scholars Academy punched their ticket to the state championship once more.
JONESBORO – Last year, Elite Scholars was on an improbable state-run and was captivating the crowd and community in the process.
This year, following a 3-0 sweep of Gordon Lee, the Lady Knights were back to the state championship match but there were moments where they had to be tested.
Final Four volleyball is always intense and when a team makes it this far, they belong there.
This wasn't a first time trip for the Lady Knights. Last year, this same program battled through and reached the biggest stage of the season for high school volleyball.
"Our mindset coming into the season wasn't that we were robbed or cheated," Elite Scholars head coach Yolanda Mays said. "I felt like last year was something that we didn't plan for, it just kind of happened. This year, we've been more purposeful in trying to get back and redeem ourselves."
A path of redemption for the Lady Knights and the feeling of returning to the state championship match and proving they're worth talking about helped guide the team.
But this match wasn't a cakewalk despite the final being a three-set sweep of Gordon Lee. The Lady Knights had their own issues against Gordon Lee during the three-set sweep.
During the second set, Gordon Lee overtook the Lady Knights and an all-hands on deck approach kept their season alive with a come-from-behind victory in the second set.
The third set was pretty solid, some mistakes were made on location but the vibe around the team began to swell with each passing point. A crowd was behind them and the momentum moved with them.
When the final set ended and the cheers began, Mays was at center court overjoyed her program was returning state. A simple phrase echoed throughout the crowd.
"We're returning to the 'ship, we're returning to the 'ship," Mays exclaimed.
Flashing back to the last year, the Lady Knights were in this position and Mays talked about it earlier saying the team was wrapped up in the gravity of the moment in 2018.
"We kind of let an opportunity slip out of our hands," Mays said. "I think this year, more than anything, we want to go back and prove ourselves. We are a legitimate team."

Bill Cosby's Wife Insists His Accusers Consented to Sex and Drugs
Sources say she's "proud, dignified, but stubborn."
By Megan Friedman
Bill Cosby has stayed quiet since recently revealed court documents showed he admitted to giving a woman Quaaludes and having sex with her. But according to the New York Post, there's at least one person still by his side: his wife, Camille.
Camille Cosby, 71, has been married to Bill since 1965, and has long served as his business manager. So the two of them have been together throughout every alleged incident of sexual assault. And though she apparently has known and accepted her husband's infidelity over the years, she is insistent that the women accusing him of rape actually consented to taking sedative drugs and having sex with him.
A source told the Post that Camille is "a proud, dignified but stubborn woman" who takes the accusations personally. "The more people stand against him, the more she perceives it as an affront to her and all that she's done to make him a star," the source said.
And this stance isn't new. Back in December, Camille issued a statement blasting the media for not "vetting" her husband's accusers. She even compared the reporting on her husband to the discredited Rolling Stone story about a gang rape at the University of Virginia.
She reportedly got a group of advisers, lawyers, and publicists together last week and said she can "fix this," even when experts advised Bill to cut off any close ties and stop trying to have a career comeback. On Ticketmaster, Cosby has no definitive show dates coming up, only a few that have been canceled with new dates still "TBA."

AT LACMA
Free Screening: Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams
Time 7:30 pm
Location Bing Theater at LACMA
Address 5905 Wilshire Blvd
Tickets FREE
Advance tickets are no longer available for this event.
A limited number of tickets will be available at the door two hours before the published start time of the event for Film Independent and LACMA Film Club members.
Includes a conversation with executive producers Michael Dinner, David Kanter and Kalen Egan, actors Greg Kinnear, Mel Rodriguez, and Rachelle Lefevre
Episode 4: "Father Thing"
An exceptional group of executive producers, including Emmy Award-winner Bryan Cranston, is behind this international anthology series of hour-long episodes based on the works of the futurist paranoiac Philip K. Dick, whose daughter Isa Dick Hackett is also an executive producer on this Amazon program. The author's fiction has become the basis of such memorable projects as Blade Runner (from Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which likely inspired the show's umbrella title), Total Recall (from Dick's short story "I Can Dream It for You Wholesale") and Amazon's adaptation of The Man in the High Castle. The "Dreams" episodes include an adaptation of The Commuter, starring Timothy Spall as a railroad employee running into a charming potential passenger who comes and goes, leaving questions in her wake while he tries to cope with his teenaged son's emotional disorder. "The Father Thing" has been turned into an installment in which a boy finds himself frightened of his dad (Greg Kinnear) – is it because of the marital issues the kid may sense, or something else? The dread – and discovery – that hangs over families that so fascinated Dick can be seen in shows featuring such cast members as Vera Farmiga, Mireille Enos, Terrence Howard, Anna Paquin, Juno Temple, Janelle Monae and, yes, Cranston.

Movie News : Veteran lyricist and poet Javed Akhtar ripped into Omung Kumar's upcoming film PM Narendra Modi, the biopic on India's Prime Minister. The film stars Vivek Oberoi in the lead role and ever since the film was announced, it has been at the centre of several controversies. The latest among them seems to be a credit for Javed Akhtar under 'Lyrics' on the poster of the film, while the lyricist says that he is 'shocked' to find his name there. Akhtar took to Twitter to post a screenshot of the credits on the film poster and wrote, "Am shocked to find my name on the poster of this film. Have not written any songs for it!"

Sport news : Virat Kohli will soon be seen wearing No 18 on his white flannels as the ICC has allowed Test-playing nations to have the players sport their names and numbers on their jerseys. The move is aimed at popularising the longest format of the game. The English county sides as well as the Australian state sides playing the Sheffield Shield are used to wearing whites with names and numbers on the back but this will be an altogether new experience for the Indian team, who will play the second Test of the World Championship against West Indies wearing numbered white shirts. "Yes, it starts from August 1 for the World Test Championship. It is a part of the wider plan to promote Test cricket," Claire Furlong, ICC's GM Manager (Strategic Communications) said on Friday.
Auto news : Toyota Motor Corp and Suzuki Motor Corp said they planned to produce electric vehicles (EVs) and compact cars for each other to better compete with fast-changing technologies in the global auto industry. The agreement follows an initial R&D tie-up announced by Japan's No. 1 and No. 4 automakers in 2017, and will see more vehicles produced by Suzuki for Toyota, one of the world's biggest carmakers. Although Suzuki is far smaller, it is a dominant force in the fast-growing Indian market. The two automakers have been pooling their strengths. Toyota is a leader in hybrid technology and is investing heavily in automated driving, while Suzuki specialises in affordable compact cars. Many automakers have struggled to keep pace with ballooning investment in EVs and self-driving cars. Under the latest agreement, Suzuki will source gasoline hybrid systems for cars it sells worldwide from Toyota, which pioneered hybrid vehicles with the Prius more than 20 years ago, the companies said in a joint statement.

A booze-fuelled screenwriter becomes entangled in the Los Angeles underworld, in Martin McDonagh's hilarious follow-up to In Bruges.
Even if a screening is sold out, tickets are often available 30 minutes before the start of the film at the box office at each venue.

Producer Graham Broadbent, Peter Czernin, Martin McDonagh
With Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson
USA-UK 2012
UK distribution Momentum Pictures
Martin McDonagh's follow-up to In Bruges is another wise-cracking, profane comedy, propelled by an endlessly inventive script and bursting with unrestrained characters. Marty (Colin Farrell), a screenwriter with an unquenchable thirst for booze, inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles underworld when his dubious best friend Billy (Sam Rockwell) kidnaps local gang boss Charlie's (Woody Harrelson) beloved shih tzu. Meanwhile, Billy has taken it upon himself to 'help' with research for Marty's latest script, oblivious to the fact that Marty and Hans (Christopher Walken), the leader of the pooch-thieving racket, are now in great danger. As things become seriously derailed (and this hilarious ride is not for the squeamish) each man's weakness is revealed – Billy's manic need to prove himself, Marty's immense fear of failure, Hans' futile loyalty; even the brutal Charlie is rendered a quivering wreck at the loss of his dog. There are many things to relish about this film – its stellar cast, its audacious and tangible love of storytelling and the fact that you can take it straight-up as a comedy, or you can let its sharp thinking linger. The punchline here is that Seven Psychopaths is a knock-out critique of the psychotic art of keeping your male on.

Director statement
I like having towns as characters in a film. In Bruges was obviously that, but I wanted LA to have the same quality that Bruges did for the last one, and hopefully that's there. [...] I'm quite even-tempered really. I'm never even angry, most of the time. The idea for this movie started with a writer wanting to write about seven psychopaths, so even the script is about that attempt. It's like a snowball within the story of the script – he gets one, then another, then two more pop up that he didn't know were already in his life. He wants to write about something he's seen the other day that's more about peace and love than it is about violence, and that's the dichotomy and tension in the story. The Pillowman is in some ways similar to this – stories within stories. There are elements of the story that are quite true to me, but there's plenty that isn't. It's fun to throw my truths into the mix with things that are completely alien to me. At the heart of it, I guess, is a writer who has written violent stuff, but who has issues with the whole thing, which is kind of what I do. So there is a truth to it, I guess.
Director biography
Born into an Irish family in Camberwell in 1970, he acknowledged his roots by setting each of his first six plays in and around County Galway. The first of them, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, saw him awarded the Critics' Circle Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright in 1996, and the majority of his stage work has been produced in each of Ireland, England and the US. His first non-Irish play, The Pillowman, premiered at the National Theatre in 2003; while his first set in America, A Behanding in Spokane, opened in New York in 2010, earning a Tony nomination for lead actor Christopher Walken. McDonagh's first film, Six Shooter, won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short in 2006, and his first feature, In Bruges, received the BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay and an Oscar nomination in the same category. He has also acted as executive producer on his brother John Michael McDonagh's feature The Guard.

Liberal preachers fulfill prophecy
WHENEVER I READ one of Sylvia Falconer's contributions to the Tribune's Faith section, I wonder if she realizes she is a fulfillment of prophecy. In her Nov. 12 column, "Men will soon share 'woman's right to choose,' " she affirmed abortion. In the July 16 edition, she wrote a piece, "Problems with gays? I don't get it." That time, she explained why we should all go along with the gay agenda.
Even though Falconer and other liberals will tell you otherwise, the Bible is quite plain about both of these issues. They admit that the Bible is firm regarding murder, but try to circumvent the problem by attacking the personhood of the unborn child, similar to the way slavery was justified by attacking the personhood of blacks. With the advances made in microbiology, the argument that an unborn child, no matter how small, isn't a unique person doesn't carry much weight. Only those who refuse to believe the facts that are before their eyes could disagree. In the case of homosexuality, the efforts of liberals to twist the Scriptures would be humorous if they didn't have such deadly consequences for so many people. Each time I visit the cemetery in the town where I grew up, I stop at the grave of one of my son's classmates who died of AIDS at the age of 22. I wonder what he would be doing today if he hadn't listened to those who told him that homosexuality is a valid lifestyle.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 tells us that shortly before Jesus returns there will be a "falling away" in the church. This apostasy, or turning from faith, is discussed in several other books: Jude (the entire book); 1 Timothy 4:1-4; 2 Peter 2:1,2, to name only a few. These passages reveal that the latter-day church will have leaders who are without respect for the Word of God. If the Bible says something is wrong, they'll say it's right. They will lead many people astray. Author and Bible teacher J. Vernon McGee wrote that, when he was a child, if anyone had told him how far the church would go into apostasy in his lifetime, he wouldn't have believed them. He called the situation "appalling." McGee died in 1988. What would he say about today's apostasy?
Why does anyone who doesn't respect the word of God become part of the clergy? Why do Christians support them? It is the ultimate hypocrisy to take money to be part of the Christian clergy, then deny the tenets of the faith. However, liberals are bent on demeaning and belittling the Word of God. Isn't it ironic that, through their own actions, they verify the words of Scripture. Prophecy is being fulfilled.

Fleming's Bond
July 16, 2015 M Reviews
Twayne's English Authors Series – Ian Fleming
Ian Fleming was a mediocre writer and a reporter with poor instincts who penned a series of novels which were despised by literary critics, and only become popular because President John F. Kennedy offhandedly mentioned one on a list – we don't know if he actually liked it – and the phenomenal success of the film series that ensued made Fleming and his estate very rich even though the films have very little to do with Fleming's writing.
Um, okay.
That's basically the overriding theme of a biography/literary assessment of Ian Fleming by Twayne's English Authors Series, published in 1989. Other English Authors profiled in this series include Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Dick Francis, P.D. James, Barbara Pym, Graham Greene and Daphne du Maurier.
The authors of the Ian Fleming book were a husband and wife team – Bruce A. Rosenberg and Ann H(arleman) Stewart.
The preface to the book begins:
By all the usual standards of belles lettres, Ian Fleming was a mediocre writer. His characters were improbably and often poorly realized. His plots — they have been called "science fictions" — were unrealistic and seldom credible either within individual episodes or throughout the entire economy of the narrative.
Two paragraphs later:
The personality of this fictional secret agent –and not a brilliantly drawn one at that — has impressed itself deeply in our consciousness.
Six paragraphs later:
Ian Fleming, who will never be on anyone's all-time distinguished authors list,
How does a mediocre writer create characters that live on for decades?
With that, the tone for the rest of the book is pretty well established.
This book was written in 1989, a quarter of a century after the death of Ian Fleming. This, the authors claim, allows them to take a more objective look at Fleming and his writing. They say that most of the books about Fleming and his writing were done in the years following his death, when the James Bond craze was at its peak, and that this blinded reviewers to the flaws in Fleming's writing and indeed, in his life.
Chapters are devoted to Ian Fleming's life, his time during WWII in Naval Intelligence, his ability as a writer, his inspirations, whether or not the James Bond novels can actually be called "Spy novels", the women and other characters in the books, the villains (one of the few areas Fleming receives high marks) and an attempt at Fleming's psychological issues and how the books reflect them.
The authors rely heavily on the analysis contained within Umberto Eco and Oreste Del Buono's collection of essays contained within Il Caso Bond (The Bond Affair.) Among the essays noted of those of Fausto Antonini (The Psychoanalysis of 007), Furio Colombo (Bond's Women), Romano Calisi (Myths and History in the Epic of James Bond) and Eco himself (The Narrative Structure in Bond).
The writings of John Pearson, Kingsley Amis and O.F. Snelling are cited, but treated as more lightweight fare. Raymond Benson's The James Bond Bedside Companion is cited in the bibliography as "Superficial, adoring, but entertaining."
While the book is scathing in its criticism of Fleming at times, curiously the authors fail on a number of occasions to get their facts correct. On at least two occasions, they mix up events in novels with those that take place in the film version. At one point when discussing how Fleming used Bond as wish-fulfillment they write:
James Bond is portrayed as an expert skier, scuba diver and hang glider, jet and helicopter pilot, high speed racing driver, sky diver, motorcyclist and all-around acrobat; in Fleming's mature years, golf was the extent of his physical activity.
Fleming never has Bond using a hang glider, nor does he ever pilot a jet or helicopter. I can't recall sky diving being among his hobbies in the novels, either. He does all of those things in the films.
In a discussion of Goldfinger, the authors cite the film version of events as Fleming's.
He will irradiate the gold in Fort Knox with a small atomic explosion, thus depriving the American government of its use. In the ensuing financial chaos, he, Goldfinger, will profit financially, while SMERSH gains politically.
In Fleming's Goldfinger novel, the plot was to actually steal the gold. A small 'so-called "clean" atomic bomb' was used to blow the door of the vault, but the goal was then to load the gold onto trains and trucks and steal it.
The final chapter of the book begins as follows:
Few writers in this century has angered their readers as much as Ian Fleming. In general, critics have taken offense at the ethics and morality of James Bond and by extension, of his author. Nearly all of the critiques have been variations of elaborations of the "sex, snobbery and sadism" charge of Paul Johnson (New Statesman, April, 1958). not much has been written about Fleming's writing skills (or lack of them).
The closing paragraphs describe Fleming as "insecure, limited, exploitative, even despicable" but then a change is made in tone. Sympathy for his upbringing and lack of "emotional nourishment" during that time is cited. Much of the book was spent on Fleming's flaws, as a person and as a writer, but then talks about how Fleming was able to overcome these by developing "his innate gifts – personal charm, the ability to make friends easily, the ability to write rapidly and clearly." He was, according to the authors, in his final years able to come to terms with himself and accept his life "as the only possible course he could have taken."
The book ends:
Out of an enormous pain, he produced more than a dozen books that have brought pleasure to millions of readers.
That isn't the final sentence I saw coming as I spent the time going through this tome on the life and works of Ian Fleming.

Ian Fleming: The Fantastic 007 Man
When Ian Fleming passed away in August of 1964, there was something of a rush to document his life in biographies.
In 1965-66, no less than four biographies of Fleming hit the shelves, led by John Pearson's The Life of Ian Fleming. Also coming out was Henry A. Zeiger's Ian Fleming: The Spy Who Came In With the Gold, Eleanor and Dennis Pelrine published Ian Fleming: Man with the Golden Pen and then finally we have Ian Fleming: The Fantastic 007 Man, by Richard Gant.
In addition to the biographies, works such as Kingsley Amis' The James Bond Dossier and 007 James Bond: A Report by O.F. Snelling also appeared during this time.
I've read Pearson several times, as all Ian Fleming fans undoubtedly have. Within the last year, I've acquired and read the other three as well. In time, hopefully I'll do writeups on the Zeiger and Pelrine efforts, but today, I wanted to bring you a look at the work of Richard Gant.
American paperback version. Lancer Books 1966.
First of all, who was Richard Gant?
No, it wasn't the actor who wrote the book. If you did a search for Richard Gant the writer, you wouldn't come up with much. Wikipedia would tell you that Richard Gant was a pseudonym for Brian Freemantle.
Yes – the Brian Freemantle who has written the Charlie Muffin MI5 series, including Red Star Falling as recently as 2013.
I love Wikipedia, but realize it isn't the omniscient oracle that we may wish it to be. Thus, I contacted Freemantle's agent to see if I could get confirmation that he actually wrote Ian Fleming: The Fantastic 007 Man.
I was pleased to receive a direct response from Mr. Freemantle himself. His answer to my inquiry was rather interesting.
It turns out that he did NOT write our Ian Fleming biography. It was actually written by a close friend of Freemantle's, another well-known novelist; Leslie Thomas, probably best known for his comic novel, The Virgin Soldiers. (and later, Stand up Virgin Soldiers.)
In 1964, Thomas published his first book, This Time Next Week about his life as a Barnardo orphan. The following year he wrote the Ian Fleming bio under the name Richard Gant. He was then approached about doing a followup to the book, this one about Sean Connery. As he was then in the midst of writing Virgin Soldiers, he suggested that Freemantle write it, as they shared the same agent, but keep the Richard Gant name, which is what happened. Freemantle wrote Sean Connery: The Gilt-Edged Bond which was published in 1967 under the name Richard Gant.
Need more confusion? The Fleming book was published in the UK as The Man With The Golden Pen.
It appears however, that in the U.S, they changed the name to Ian Fleming: The Fantastic 007 Man, because there was already a book out in that country called Ian Fleming: Man With The Golden Pen. (Which we'll talk about in a later post. Maybe.)
In terms of the actual biography, how does this one hold on up today?
Just as the James Bond novels are viewed by some as relics of another age, this biography might be viewed the same way. It is a product of its time.
The book is a pleasure to read. The writing is smooth and obviously the work of a talented author.
It is very polite and gentleman-like in its approach to documenting Fleming's life. Nothing too salacious, criticism is directed only at the work, not the man, and in many ways the commentary on the novels mirrors what the critics at the time were saying.
Ian Fleming is framed as a mild-mannered, cultured gentleman who was self-effacing, yet able to navigate about in the world with command. His life from childhood to schooldays to his time in Naval Intelligence and as a stockbroker and newspaper editor is chronicled faithfully and quickly.
There are times however when the book isn't as accurate on certain topics, particularly when it comes to the relationship of Ian and Anne Fleming.
The book says that Anne and Ian met while she was still Lady Rothermere, but we know their relationship went on well before that point, back to when she was with her first husband, Baron O'Neill.
When writing about the well-known parties that Anne often held, Gant says
That these gatherings never appealed to Fleming either before or after they were married–'Gabfests' he called them–did nothing to detract from the rightness of the marriage which was happy from the first day to the last.
While Anne and Ian certainly had a special love and devotion for each other, their marriage really couldn't be categorized as 'happy' in any sense of the word. Gant does however, point out the disdain that Anne had for James Bond and the low regard in which she held Ian's novels.
I do recommend the book for the Fleming/Bond enthusiast for a quick read, and also for some details which were new to me. For example, a James Bond comparison that I had not come across before was this:
Visually, Fleming always regarded Bond as looking like Henry Cotton the golfer, in his young days.
Hmm. I can see it. It's not perfect – no comma of hair falling down – but you can see that face as Bond.
There are other details, even about Jamaica (Dr. Drew) which I hadn't come across before, and quotes and insight from Fleming on his working methods which I found intriguing. There is even a reference to the island owned by Nina Dyer, which Fleming had swum out to frequently. Dyer had committed suicide in 1965, a fact which is noted in the book.
On the other hand many other details are lacking, as in Pearson's bio, the name Blanche Blackwell does not appear in this book. Nothing about the other loves of his life, or details of Anne and Ian's relationship before their marriage. This is perhaps the most obvious sign of the times, as back then, a person's private life was not as aggressively delved into as it is now.
In addition, when biographies are written so close to the subject's death, many of the principals in the life of that person are still living, and thus could be embarrassed or scandalized by details coming out. That was a large factor in the John Pearson book, and so when Andrew Lycett wrote his Fleming biography many years later, many of those people had since passed away and he was able to chronicle the more seedy aspects of the life of Ian Fleming.
The book winds down with a look at the films, and the Thunderball court case and then into Fleming's final days and hours. It ends with Fleming's own epitaph.
In closing, Ian Fleming: The Fantastic 007 Man or Ian Fleming: The Man With The Golden Pen if that is the version you come across, is a very smoothly written, interesting yet brief look at the life of the creator of James Bond. For the casual Fleming fan, I'm not sure I would go to the trouble of tracking down a copy of the book, but if you happen to come across it, it's definitely worth a look.
Perhaps if only for the endpages of my copy which promote a series of books called "Ted Mark's Swinging Adventures " as "The Man From O.R.G.Y."

Review of Matthew Parker's "Goldeneye"
The image of Ian Fleming pecking away at his typewriter at his tropical retreat while sounds of the surf pounding and warm breezes flow through the open windows is an idyllic one, especially for anyone who has dreamed of writing the next bestseller.
Those familiar with Ian Fleming know that his life was usually far from idyllic. A complicated, stubborn man of iron routine, who could be charming, but mostly preferred to avoid social entanglements, Fleming struggled with marital discord and declining health for much of the time in which he spent in his beloved Jamaica writing the James Bond novels.
Matthew Parker's Goldeneye: Where Bond Was Born: Ian Fleming's Jamaica
is a deep-dive into Fleming's time in Jamaica. This is Mr Parker's second book about the West Indies, having previously written The Sugar Barons: Family, Corruption, Empire, and War in the West Indies the knowledge gained from that first book was almost a springboard to this one, as he discovered Goldeneye in the course of researching The Sugar Barons.
It's worth noting that an adjustment in expectations for the book may be in order, though that is by no fault of Mr Parker. The book title after all tells us that it is about Ian Fleming's Jamaica – not solely Ian Fleming. Thus there is much in the way of background and history of the island, all of which is fascinating and informative. If you were looking at 320 pages of Ian Fleming and James Bond, that's not what this book is. In fact, it is not until page 124 that Fleming even begins writing Casino Royale.
All the background information is vital to the story of Ian Fleming and his creation, because there is so much of it in the writings of Fleming. This includes all the Bond novels, not just those in which the setting includes time in Jamaica – Live and Let Die, Dr No, The Man With the Golden Gun and the short stories For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy. All the books and stories reveal the influence of Jamaica, if not directly than by means of a look into the political climate of the time, especially when it comes to the decline of the British Empire and the breakup of the Colonial holdings of the Empire. Fleming's views on Britain, the United States, colonialism, politics and race are all explored in the context of the influences on his life and it is shown how these views make it in the James Bond novels.
Mr Parker expertly connects passages within the novels with events in Jamaica at the time and within Fleming's own life – sometimes amusingly. Errol Flynn was a prominent figure around Jamaica in the late 1940's and it seems that Fleming and Flynn had no use for each other, even as they were vying for the crown of "Jamaica's most noted expatriate lothario." Flynn felt Fleming 'pretentious and full of himself," while Fleming apparently didn't care for the Hollywood legend of Flynn either. Mr Parker notes that in From Russia With Love, when Tatiana Romanova tries to compliment Bond by telling him he looks like an American film star, Bond snaps back at her 'For God's sake! That's the worst insult you can pay a man!'
The relationship of Ann and Ian Fleming is also crucial to the account, as once again, the ups and downs of this relationship are reflected in Ian's writing. (See the views of marriage as written in Diamonds Are Forever.) Ann came to hate and avoid Jamaica, which left Ian free to carry on affairs with the likes of Millicent Huttleston Rogers, Lady Jeanne Campbell and Blanche Blackwell. Ann meanwhile carried on with Hugh Gaitskell in much the same manner in which she had carried on with Ian when she was married to someone else. Despite this, the pair never divorced, and would still write affectionately to and about the other. Ian's friend and Jamaican neighbor Noël Coward even created characters in his plays which were obviously based on Ian and Ann, and Blanche Blackwell. Mr Parker draws these connections for us in Coward's work, while detailing the unlikely friendship between the men.
Mr Parker spent extensive time interviewing those who actually knew Fleming. As the years go by, these accounts become even more precious, knowing that in the not-so-distant future, this generation will be gone. Blanche Blackwell, still going strong at 102, her son Chris Blackwell, who now owns Goldeneye, Jamaican swimming champion Barrington Roper, who Fleming used as a guide, and surviving members of the Fleming's extended family were among those who assisted Mr Parker with his research for the book.
There are numerous photographs throughout the book, both in-line and as part of a color collection in the center of the book. I cannot stop looking at the photo on page 253 which shows Ian sitting on a windowsill in Goldeneye, and sitting next to him, on his right is Blanche and on his left is Ann. The contrast is startling. Blanche is wearing what looks like a button-down shirt over presumably a swimsuit, with her bare legs dangling down. Ann, on the hand is more formally dressed, with a high neckline blouse and long skirt and you see no leg from her. Ian is sitting up straight, arms crossed on his lap, with something of a sheepish look on his face.
Both Jamaica and Ian Fleming changed during the time he kept his residence there. The island gained in popularity as a tourist spot and won its independence from Britain, Fleming bought his land in 1946, was married there in 1952 as a 'sleek' 44-year-old and a dozen years later was a dying man having exhausted his body from years of living too hard. Mr Parker captures this period for both Jamaica and Ian Fleming, giving us a view that has not been seen in this detail previously.
The book was released in the UK last August, but is not set for a US release until March 11th of 2015.
On the image below you can preorder the book for its March US release:

Sarri drops Kepa for Tottenham clash
Following his refusal to be substituted during the EFL Cup final, Kepa Arrizabalaga has been dropped by Chelsea.

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has been dropped to the bench for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge after refusing to be substituted in Sunday's EFL Cup final defeat to Manchester City.
Kepa twice required treatment during extra time at Wembley, with Willy Caballero - City's shoot-out hero in the 2016 final - prepared to come on.
Maurizio Sarri appeared to be furious as the world's most expensive keeper defied his order to come off, with Caballero left confused on the sidelines during a long delay.
The Chelsea boss explained in his post-match news conference that it was a "misunderstanding", saying he understood the apparent injury to Kepa was more serious than the Spaniard felt.

Sarri reiterated in Chelsea's statement that there was a mix-up and Kepa has since apologised to the Italian and the rest of the team, though that has not spared him from a fine of a week's wages issued by the club, rather than the coach.
Speaking to the club's website at the time, Sarri said: "Kepa and I have spoken about the incident. It was a good conversation.
"There was a misunderstanding yesterday [Sunday], but he realises he made a big mistake in the way he reacted.
"He has apologised to me, his team-mates and the club. It is up to the club if they want to discipline him according to the club rules, but for me this matter is now closed."
Caballero will belatedly get his chance between the sticks for Chelsea, having taken Kepa's place in the starting XI.
