re Garlic Town - I shall quote Steve Dearden's comments (he collects + publishes a bibliography)
Dawson, Mulvey
Garlic Town
Arthur H Stockwell Ltd London 1935
"A pen-name of Captain Leonard Radcliffe, this novel is supposedly set in Ramsey - and later Liverpool. I do not make this claim lightly, but this is probably the worst novel I have ever read"

Obviously judging from its scarcity a collector's item!
