George Macdonald Fraser – Flashman – First UK Edition 1969
£185.00
A first edition, first printing of Flashman by George MacDonald Fraser, published by Herbert Jenkins, London in 1969. A very good book free from internal inscriptions, with minor bumping to the spine tips. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with fading to the spine, bumping to the spine tips and knuckles of front and rear flap folds. Wrapper designed by A.E. Barbosa.
Flashman by George MacDonald Fraser is the first in a series chronicling the exploits of Sir Harry Flashman, an unapologetically cowardly, lecherous and opportunistic Victorian soldier. Expelled from school, Flashman embarks on a series of adventures, starting with the First Anglo-Afghan War. Written as his fictional memoirs, the novel humorously blends historical events with Flashman’s deceitful escapades. Fraser’s sharp wit and meticulous historical detail create a brilliantly satirical portrait of empire and flawed heroism.
