Dick Francis Public

Created by Tim

A wonderful English writer who among other things is an ex-jockey. Many books revolve around the racing world. Starting in 1962 through 2000 Mr Francis wrote a slew of books. I had read many of these over the years and in Feb 1922 decided to read through the entire collection in order. The Sid Halley and Kit Fielding books will be in a separate list. This list is his standalone novels.
