About This Item
London: Collins Harvill, 1985. First Edition. Cloth. Fine/fine. First edition of Flashman and the Dragon by George MacDonald Fraser, published by Collins Harvill in 1985.. Octavo, 320pp. Red cloth, title stamped in gilt on spine. First edition statement on copyright page. Appears unread. In the publisher's fine dust jacket, retail price on front flap, bright illustrations. George MacDonald Fraser (1925-2008) based the idea of Flashman on the original character created by Thomas Hughes in Tom Brown's School Days, published in 1857. The Flashman character was a fictionalized look at the 19th century British Army, but Fraser was always praised for his historical accuracy in portraying real world events. By the time of his death in 2008, Fraser published twelve Flashman novels, including: Flashman (1969), Royal Flash (1970), Flash for Freedom! (1971), Flashman at the Charge (1973), Flashman in the Great Game (1975), Flashman's Lady (1977), Flashman and the Redskins (1982), Flashman and the Dragon (1985), Flashman and the Mountain of Light (1990), Flashman and the Angel of the Lord (1994), Flashman and the Tiger (1999) and Flashman on the March (2005).
Synopsis
It is 1860, and while China seethes through the bloodiest civil war in history and the British and French armies hack their way to the heart of the Forbidden City, Flash Harry hoodwinks them all.
