Fraser George MacDonald

    This author is renowned for his historical novel series, presented as the purportedly written memoirs of Harry Flashman. Flashman, originally conceived as a coward and bully, looks back on his adventuring days as a hero within the 19th-century British Army. The novels are celebrated for their meticulous historical accuracy and a distinctive narrative voice that has captivated literary critics. These works offer a unique lens on history through a protagonist whose motivations are often far from heroic.

      "If ever there was a time when I felt that 'watcher-of-the-skies-when-a-new-planet' stuff, it was when I read the first Flashman."–P.G. Wodehouse The first novel in the Flashman series Fraser revives Flashman, a caddish bully from Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes, and relates Flashman’s adventures after he is expelled in drunken disgrace from Rugby school in the late 1830s. Flashy enlists in the Eleventh Light Dragoons and is promptly sent to India and Afghanistan, where despite his consistently cowardly behavior he always manages to come out on top. Flashman is an incorrigible anti-hero for the ages. This humorous adventure book will appeal to fans of historical fiction, military fiction, and British history as well as to fans of Clive Cussler, James Bond, and The Three Musketeers.
