Best Flashman Novels

This series of novels purport to the memoirs of Harry Flashman, the villain of "Tom Brown's Schooldays." According to the author, George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman went on to a glorious career in the army of Victorian England after his disgraceful expulsion from Rugby School. Told in the first person by General Flashman late in his life, they are "as fine a record of knavery, cowardice and fleeing for cover as you'll find outside the covers of Hansard." Fraser uses Flashman to comment at length on Victorian England, and the world of the nineteenth century, often with savage humour. The books, which frequently deal with real historical figures and incidents are brilliantly researched and written.
