Description
wide
This upload contains Dick Francis' (1920-2010) collected books in EPUB format, including Lester, a biography of jockey Lester Piggott, and Sport of Queens, his autobiography. This does not contain any of the books authored by his son, Felix Francis.

Like many writers, Francis wrote about what he knew. He became a jockey after World War II and won some 350 races. From 1953-1957, he was jockey to the Queen Mother. "Like most jump jockeys, Francis had his share of injuries. Unlike most, he was hospitalized at the age of 12 when a pony fell on him and broke his jaw and nose. A career featuring broken bones and damaged organs found its way into many novels, whose narrators suffer a variety of damaged bodies. In 1957, after one too many serious falls, the Queen Mother's adviser, Lord Abergavenny, advised him that she wanted him to retire from racing for her" (Wikipedia).
