Delurking to point out another early appearance of a schoolboy James Bond. By Miles Kington, and published in 1975, Dr. Evil, by Ian Fleming, aged 14 1/21, is nothing more than a joke at the expense of Ian Fleming’s writing style. We are presented with the sixteen and three-quarter year-old
James Bond 007, on the trail of his stolen all bells-and-whistles toy boat. On
confronting Dr. Evil (in *his* first appearance), the young 007 wrestles him to the ground and chokes the life out of the villain (“I have just killed your friend Dr Evil, but he will live.”).
FOUND! Young Bond's first appearance in 1960

Andrew,
Welcome to CBn. That story sounds great, would love to know more.
Some big news on this end - we've gotten confirmation that Johanna Harwood's middle initial is M.
According to "London charivari", Volume 237, page 475, published in 1959, in an article about skiing she signs herself Johanna M. Harwood.
The article's title is ... "For Women — Long Skis in Kitzbuhel".
More info soon.

(Kitzbuhel...another Bond connection.)
EDIT: Updated my story. We're making Bond history here!

Don't know, but it was part of a series (schoolboy Fleming writing, schoolboy Doyle writing, etc.) Fairly sure that I read it on the old 007forever.com website, but a brief attempt at locating it via archive.org didn't come up with anything.

Thank you for reprinting the article on your site zencat. I was at Higson's appearance in Washington, D.C. and Mr. Higson did seem amused by the copy of the short story.
On a sidenote, if anyone here has not yet picked up a copy of "The Making of On Her Majety's Secret Service" I would strongly urge you to do so. It's a simply superb book and, regardless of your feeling on the movie, belongs on the bookshelf of any self-respecting James Bond fan.
