Casino Royale is the first James Bond novel by author Ian Fleming. It would eventually pave the way for 11 other novels by Fleming himself in addition to 2 short story anthologies, followed by many 'continuation' Bond novels by other authors.
Since first being published on April 13, 1953 by Jonathan Cape, Casino Royale has been adapted for the screen three times; a 1954 CBS television episode of Climax! starring Barry Nelson as "Jimmy Bond", a 1967 film spoof of the same name starring David Niven as 007, and the twenty-first official film in the EON Productions Bond franchise starring Daniel Craig as Bond. The latest film is scheduled for a wide release on November 17, 2006.
