‘There are enough marvellous Fraser touches to make CAPTAIN IN CALICO a real pleasure’ Daily Telegraph Praise for The Flashman Papers: ‘Politically incorrect, lascivious and fiendishly handsome, Flashman is the greatest’ Boris Johnson ‘Flashman is drop-dead funny, unputdownable story-telling, and much better history than anybody gets taught in schools’ Max Hastings ‘Flashman is one of the great characters of modern fiction; a rogue, a lover, and always an irresistible read’ Bernard Cornwell ‘Flashman, Sherlock Holmes, Toad of Toad Hall, Bertie Wooster. Any writer would give his eye-teeth to have created a character as good as those. GMF was one of the greats’ Conn Iggulden 'Flashman is a wonderful creation, by a master storyteller. We'll forever delight in his evil antics' Jeffrey Archer ‘The perfect fictional creation’ Tony Parsons, author of Man and Boy and The Murder Bag
