Fun to revisit. Glad it's available as an ebook. Makes me wish Fleming had written more children's books.

About the author
Ian Fleming, famous for creating James Bond, also loved fast cars—and this love spurred him to write his only children's book, for his little boy, Caspar, about a car that could fly. Published just after Fleming's death in 1964, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car became an immediate bestseller. It has been reinvented as a musical and as a film (with the screenplay written by Roald Dahl) and inspired two sequels written by Frank Cottrell Boyce.
