Order of Les Dawson Books

Les Dawson (1934-1993) was a British comedian and author of both fiction and non-fiction. He was recognized for his deadpan humor and his jabs at his mother-in-law and wife. After suffering a broken jaw in a boxing match, Dawson developed the ability to make grotesque faces by pulling his jaw over his upper lip. Although he gained fame primarily through British television, he felt disheartened that people viewed him solely as an entertainer. He wished for his second wife, Tracy, to always remind his fans of his identity as a writer as well. Dawson made his debut as a published author in 1974 with the novel A Card for the Clubs. Below is a list of his books in the order of their original release:
