The Wikipedia article of the day for March 28, 2026 is Octopussy and The Living Daylights.
Octopussy and The Living Daylights is the fourteenth and final James Bond book written by Ian Fleming (pictured). The book is a collection of short stories, published in the United Kingdom by Jonathan Cape on 23 June 1966, after Fleming's death in August 1964. The book originally contained two stories, "Octopussy" and "The Living Daylights"; later editions also included "The Property of a Lady" and subsequently also "007 in New York". The stories first appeared in different publications. Many elements from the stories are taken from Fleming's own interests and experiences, including climbing in Kitzbühel in Austria, wartime commando deeds, and the sea life of Jamaica. He used the names of friends and acquaintances for characters in the stories. Other elements from the stories have been used in the Bond films made by Eon Productions, including the background for the titular character in the film Octopussy.
