Back in the 1960s I wrote a novel with my closest friend, Ted Smith, who sadly died in 2013. It took several years. The project was titled, "The Life and Epic Adventures of Cecil Z. Frampton, gent." Ted's contributions were generally better than mine. There were also contributions from another friend, David Bloomfield, and from others. Naturally, these all reflected what we'd been reading recently: Spike Milligan, Sherlock Holmes, Henry Fielding, Rabelais; plus various TV and radio shows now long since forgotten.
I don't think we ever finished it. It was all really pretty bad, but we greatly enjoyed writing it. Portions of the manuscript survive, and may be published on this site from time to time. You have been warned!
