More on John Pearson
Description from Wikipedia:
John Pearson (born May 10, 1930) is a writer best associated with James Bond creator Ian Fleming.
Pearson was Fleming's assistant at the London Sunday Times and would go on to write the first biography of Ian Fleming, 1966's The Life of Ian Fleming.
Pearson would also become the third official James Bond author of the adult-Bond series, writing in 1973 James Bond: The Authorised Biography of 007, a first-person biography of the fictional agent James Bond. Although the canonical nature of this book has been debated by Bond fans since it was published, it was officially authorised by Glidrose Publications, the official publisher of the James Bond chronicles. Glidrose reportedly considered commissioning Pearson to write a new series of Bond novels in the 1970s, but nothing came of this.
Pearson also wrote "true-crime" biography, such as The Profession of Violence: an East End gang story about the rise and fall of the Kray twins. He also wrote the non-fiction book, The Gamblers, an account about the group of gamblers who made up, what was known as the Clermont set, which included John Asspinal, James Goldsmith and Lord Lucan. The film rights to the book were purchased by Warner Bros. in 2006. It was currently adapted by William Monahan.
He also wrote the first full-scale biography of the literary Sitwell siblings, Edith, Osbert and Sacheverell, 'Façades' published in 1978.
