Perry Mason bibliography


The following is a list of the Perry Mason novels and short stories by Erle Stanley Gardner, published from 1933 to 1973.

Many Perry Mason novels were first published in magazines, most often The Saturday Evening Post, some with different titles. Sixteen appeared in the Toronto Star Weekly in condensed form. All books were first published by William Morrow and Company, New York. Most were published simultaneously in Toronto.

Six of the novels were adapted for a series of Perry Mason films produced in the 1930s. Many of the novels and short stories were adapted for the CBS television series Perry Mason (1957–66); details are available at the list of episodes for the TV series.

Every Perry Mason story has a title that begins "The Case of the …" but there are five books by Gardner with similar titles that are not Perry Mason novels:

After Gardner's death, Thomas Chastain wrote two Perry Mason novels licensed by the author's estate, "based on characters created by Erle Stanley Gardner". Both follow the made-for-TV movies in the use of Paul Drake, Jr.
