Ian Fleming conceived the idea for a series on the Seven Deadly Sins in the Sunday Times, and though it did not materialize for the paper, a book was published in 1962 that contained essays by some of England’s finest writers on their sin of choice. Ian Fleming wrote the foreword and declared that the traditional seven deadly sins—PRIDE, ENVY, ANGER, SLOTH [accidie], COVETOUSNESS, GLUTTONY and LUST—were no longer sufficient.Thereupon, he proposed seven deadlier sins worthier of a passport to Hell: SNOBBERY, MORAL COWARDICE, HYPOCRISY, CRUELTY, SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, AVARICE & MALICE. This book takes a look at these vices as found in the novels of Ian Fleming.

"The Oxford Movement is a celebrated and long out-of-print history of one of the most important movements within the Anglican communion during the nineteenth century. R. W. Church, a participant in the events he describes and one of the great Victorian men of letters, mingles autobiographical reminiscence with retrospective historical analysis. The entire text and original notes as Church left them are reprinted here with an introduction by Geoffrey Best." -- Back cover.
