Ravenscroft, Terry: The Real Adrian Mole, PDF v2.0. 26 Jun 09

A humorous work of metafiction, posted in blog form at www.razza.fsnet.co.uk; 5 months in the life of an irreverent, smartass schoolboy who despises being named after the famous fictional diarist.

I have collected the blog in PDF form and added monthly bookmarks. I do not believe copyright is an issue here, as the source material was originally a public domain posting.

Thank you for compiling and uploading this book, NickW.

As soon as I read "My father is an air hostess and my mother is a traffic warden"... I realised this is probably the zany sort of story I'll enjoy.

Actually, it is a problem. The author published it on his website. It's not in the public domain. You need to get his permission before we can host it here.

Good point. I'll move the thread to the "other books" section.

That doesn't appear to have been posted by the author, so I'm not sure that that is a valid CC notice.

No, it was posted by me there as well...

I'll email Terry Ravenscroft and ask his approval to host the story here.

Please ask approval BEFORE you post something. The fact that something is on a web site does NOT mean that it can be freely reposted.

Mr. Ravenscroft said it's fine to have this ebook here.

Copy of his email attached.

Thanks, Nick.
I've restored the attachment.

Thanks also to Terry Ravenscroft for graciously giving permission for us to host his work.
