Life lessons

One of my most precious memories as a young child – all of 8 or 9 years old – is a film watching experience! ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ was originally written as a children’s novel by Ian Fleming in 1964. He was also known for penning ‘James Bond’ – the famous spy series! Such was the popularity of the book, as they say, that it made one of the best Christmas presents of those years! Fleming’s book was beautifully adapted into a children’s musical film of the same quirky name in 1968 by Albert (a.k.a. Cubby) R. Broccoli who was also associated as producer of the spy series.
