List of works by Dornford Yates
Dornford Yates was the pseudonym of the English novelist Cecil William Mercer, whose novels and short stories, some humorous, some serious thrillers, were best-sellers in the period between the First and Second World Wars.
The categorization of Yates's books is based on the list that appears opposite the title page of his last published work, B-Berry and I Look Back. All are full-length novels except where noted. Almost all of the tales in the short story collections were also published separately, often in slightly different form and with different titles in The Windsor Magazine: see the corresponding book article for details.
