Ian Fleming, who was a keen bird watcher living in Jamaica, was familiar with Bond's book, and chose the name of its author for the hero of Casino Royale in 1953, apparently because he wanted a name that sounded ' as ordinary as possible '.

Because Ian Fleming never explicitly said when James Bond was born, Ian Fleming Publications and Charlie Higson chose the year 1920 as his birth year.

On another occasion Fleming said: " I wanted the simplest, dullest, plainest-sounding name I could find, ' James Bond ' was much better than something more interesting, like ' Peregrine Carruthers '.

One of Fleming's neighbours in Jamaica, and later his lover, was Blanche Blackwell, mother of Chris Blackwell of Island Records ; Fleming used Blanche as the model for Pussy Galore, although the name " Pussy " came from Mrs " Pussy " Deakin, formerly Livia Stela, an SOE agent and friend of his wife's.

Fleming's golf partner, John Blackwell, ( a cousin to Blanche Blackwell ) was also a cousin by marriage to Ernő Goldfinger and disliked him: it was Blackwell who reminded Fleming of the name.

Goldfinger threatened to sue Fleming over the use of the name and, in retaliation, Fleming threatened to add an erratum slip to the book changing the name from Goldfinger to Goldprick and explaining why ; the matter was settled out of court after the publishers, Jonathan Cape, agreed to ensure the name Auric was always used in conjunction with Goldfinger.

In 1908, Fleming donated the property to the citizens of Halifax for use as a park and proposed the construction of a tower within the " Dingle " to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of representative government in Nova Scotia ; the province having been the first colony in the British Empire outside the United Kingdom to have such a form of government.

A discussion about Ernő with Ursula Goldfinger's cousin on a golf course prompted Ian Fleming to name the James Bond adversary and villain Auric Goldfinger after Ernő.

Fleming developed the James Bond character more in Goldfinger than in the previous six novels, presenting him as a more complex individual, whilst also bringing out a theme of Bond as Saint George.

Fleming had based the actual character on American gold tycoon Charles W. Engelhard, Jr .. Fleming also used a number of his own experiences within the book, and the round of golf played with Goldfinger was based upon a tournament in 1957 at the Berkshire Golf Club in which Fleming partnered the Open winner Peter Thomson.

Fleming structured the novel in three sections —" Happenstance ", " Coincidence " and " Enemy action "— which was how Goldfinger described Bond's three seemingly coincidental meetings with him.

Auric Goldfinger was described by Raymond Benson as " Fleming's most successful villain to date " and Fleming gives him a number of character flaws that are brought out across the novel.

Goldfinger was written in Jamaica at Fleming's Goldeneye estate in January and February 1958 and was the longest typescript Fleming had produced to that time.

In the summer of 1957 Fleming had played in the Bowmaker Pro-Am golf tournament at the Berkshire Golf Club, where he partnered the Open winner Peter Thomson: much of the background went into the match between Bond and Goldfinger.

Fleming also disliked what Goldfinger was doing destroying Victorian buildings, replacing them with the architect's modernist designs, particularly a terrace at Goldfinger's own residence at 2 Willow Road.

The likely model for Goldfinger was American gold tycoon Charles W. Engelhard, Jr., who Fleming had met in 1949.

" Robson saw this as a positive development, but it did mean that although " there are incidental displays of the virtuosity to which Mr. Fleming has accustomed us, ... the narrative does not slip into top gear until Goldfinger unfolds his plan ".

The Sunday Times called Goldfinger " Guilt-edged Bond ", whilst the Manchester Evening News thought that " Only Fleming could have got away with it ... outrageously improbable, wickedly funny, wildly exciting ".

* Goldfinger is a 1958 novel by British author Ian Fleming in the James Bond series.

) Goldfinger consulted his lawyers when Goldfinger was published in 1959, which prompted Fleming to threaten to rename the character ' Goldprick ', but eventually decided not to sue ; Fleming's publishers agreed to pay his costs and gave him six free copies of the book.
