In 1959, The "London Daily News" published an original Ian Fleming short story (conceived as a plot for an abandoned James Bond television show) called "Murder Before Breakfast". Fleming felt the title did not capture the essence of the story, and re-titled it "From A View To A Kill" when it was included in his "For Your Eyes Only" collection of five James Bond stories in 1960. Fleming found the inspiration for this new title from John Woodcock Grave's 1820 Cumberland Hunting Song, "D'Ye Ken John Peel". It read in part: "From the drag to the chase. From the chase to the view. From the view to a death in the morning." Fleming adapted the third stanza for his short story title.
