  • Raymond John Hitchcock (9 February 1922 – 23 February 1992) was an English novelist, screenwriter, and cartoonist, He is best remembered for his novel Percy, which was the basis for a 1971 film of the same name. Several of his earlier books were light-hearted sexual farces; his later titles included several thrillers. He was the father of English musician Robyn Hitchcock. His daughter Lal is a sculptor, and daughter Fleur is a children's author. Hitchcock was born in Calcutta, India in 1922 to English parents. At age 22, one of his legs was wounded during the Allied forces invasion of Normandy, giving him limited use of it for the remainder of his life and rendering him functionally disabled. He spent 9 months in hospital recovering and narrowly escaped having to have the leg amputated. He trained as an engineer, working in telecommunications, before abandoning this career to concentrate on creating cartoons. From there he drifted into writing, his first novel being successful enough to be turned into a film of the same title. Apart from writing novels, he wrote the screenplays of several short plays which appeared in such series as Play for Today and Thirty-Minute Theatre. Hitchcock died of cancer in Winchester, England in 1992 shortly after his 70th birthday. (en)
