But for Cheryl, Smith's character in the ABC series According to Jim (Tuesdays, 9 p.m.

 The Forgotten Futures Thorne Smith Collection
HIS section of my site collects the humourous novels of the late (James) Thorne Smith (1893-1934), including such classic fantasies as The Jovial Ghosts (AKA The Misadventures of Topper) and The Night Life of the Gods, plus one short story, Birthday Present.
Another fantasy sometimes attributed to Smith, The Passionate Witch (1941, a source for the film I Married A Witch and TV series Bewitched) could not be included since a large proportion of the text was written after Smith's death by Norman H. Matson; it remains in European copyright.
Several other works by Smith have not been included since I have been unable to obtain copies; most notably Dream's End (1927), a "serious" psychological and supernatural novel, Lazy Bear Lane (1931) a children's book, and Did She Fall (1936) a crime novel which is still in European copyright.
