Flashman's First Omnibus
Condition remarks:
Book: Good
Jacket: Worn/faded, no tears
Pages: Good
Markings: No markings
Meet the greatest anti-hero in the history of the British Empire. George MacDonald Fraser’s legendary "Flashman Papers" series revitalized historical fiction with the creation of Sir Harry Flashman—a coward, a scoundrel, and a decorated war hero who somehow survives the 19th century's most dangerous conflicts through sheer luck and lack of character. This first omnibus edition collects three essential volumes of Flashman's memoirs: Flashman: The debut novel where the bully of Rugby School is expelled and finds himself in the middle of the disastrous First Anglo-Afghan War. Royal Flash: A hilarious adventure in 1840s Europe, loosely paralleling the plot of The Prisoner of Zenda, involving a high-stakes impersonation and the revolutionary fervor of Germany. Flash for Freedom!: Flashman heads to the United States, where he inadvertently becomes involved with the Underground Railroad and the politics of the American South. Impeccably researched and wickedly funny, Fraser’s novels are a masterclass in blending historical fact with uproarious fiction. This omnibus is the perfect entry point for readers who enjoy adventure with a sharp, satirical edge.
