The Books of F S Brereton
By my reckoning, there are 45 adventure books written by F. S. Brereton and three non-fiction books. I have attempted to list them all in the tables below, indicating the English title, date shown on the title page and illustrator.
Table 1. shows all a list of 45 of the Brereton adventure titles published between 1889 and 1931. They were all published by Blackie and Son, unless otherwise indicated.
