Product Description
Coward, scoundrel, lover and cheat, but there is no better man to go into the jungle with. Join Flashman in his adventures as he survives fearful ordeals and outlandish perils across the four corners of the world.
Flashman's at it again! Caught between two Chinese lovers, held captive by Borneo pirates and enslaved by a voluptuous Madagascan queen, Harry Flashman's doing better than ever.
The first edition of Flashman's Lady, sixth novel in the series of twelve written by George Macdonald Fraser. This series is notable for the accuracy of the historical settings and praise from critics. P.G. Wodehouse said of these volumes: "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."Originally created by Thomas Hughes in his semi-biographical work Tom Brown's School Days and later developed by Fraser in his Flashman series, Harry Paget Flashman was a bully in school, and was eventually kicked out for drunkenness. The Fraser series explores Flashman later in life, where he lives as a Victorian soldier climbing the ranks of the British Army but also remains the same drunk, liar, thief, and cheat, and often runs away from danger rather than facing it head on. Though being an antihero, his character is always eventually regarded as a hero. 'The Flashman Papers' are supposed discovered memoirs, following the story of Flashman as narrated by Fraser.
