Mapped endpapers. Hardcover with DJ. Harry Flashman is one of the great characters in historical fiction, and I have to say that this is one of those series you keep up on the bookshelves as it never fails to disappoint you on a rainy day. The cadence of the text takes a little while to get used to, but Fraser has created a wonder in Flashman - bold, cunning, and resourceful, a rake who's always looking to save his own skin in the course of a series of difficult assignments, a fan of the ladies and they of him, and always willing to have another medal pinned on his chest in the course of his adventures. He's a caricature and yet a deep character study all at the same time. Here, Flashman gets caught up in the Crimean War with a bunch of doltish aristocrats in charge of the British forces in Lords Raglan and Cardigan. Long story short, despite his best attempts to stay out of harm's way Flashman finds himself bounding down the valley with the rest of the charge of the light brigade. To me, it was the parts in Russia and Central Asia that were the most fun - the escape across the snows in a sledge, the charge with the Kirghiz hordes. Never a dull moment in this one, and full of the battlefields and boudoirs that you've come to expect in the series. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 288 pages.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. 1970 1st Am. ed. 257pp. red cloth 8vo: Very Good in a Good dj in Brodart poly cover [owner's small round emboss on front flyleaf; else VG; dj = torn @ spine head; else G] The second Flashman novel featuring the picaresque adventures of that Victorian "Ace of cads! Best of all bounders!" Harry Flashman, this time getting himself involved in European political intrigue. Fraser's (1925-2008) comic "Flashman" series, based on a wisp of a character (the bully) in Thomas Hughes's (1822-96) 1857 novel of Rugby School, "Tom Brown's Schooldays," is a brilliant conceit, and not so bad a history lesson either. This was the only Flashman novel made into a film, a rather disappointing one at that to fans of Flash Harry. Richard Lester directed the 1975 flick which starred Malcolm McDowell as Captain Harry Flashman, Oliver Reed as Bismarck, and a starry cast that included such heavyweight actors as Alan Bates, Joss Ackland, Alistair Sim, Michael Hordern, Bob Hoskins and Britt Eckland (well, maybe not Britt).…
