Boney
was an Australian television series that ran for two seasons from 1971
to 1972. The series is centred on Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte,
a half-Australian Aboriginal character, created by Arthur Upfield, who
wrote twenty nine novels about him from 1929 until his death in 1964.
Several of Upfield's books were re-published with TV-themed covers.
A list of all 29 Boney books by Arthur Upfield are
at the bottom of the gallery. It appears that only some of the books
were published as TV tie-in books, some by Pan Books and some by Arkon
Books. Not all the books were published as TV tie-ins.

List
of Arthur Upfield's 29 "Boney" Books
(Original publication dates shown only)

The
series of books was always supposed to have been "Boney" as
the spelling but a publication error in the early days led to several
of the books published with the spelling "Bony".
