Flashman : From the Flashman Papers 1839-1842

Vintage Book Club edition. 254pp. In red cloth-covered boards (a little worn and faded, rounded at spine tips, minor flecking on text block edges). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original, worn and edge-torn dust jacket. What happened to Harry Flashman, the caddish bully in Tom Brown's Schooldays, after he was expelled in drunken disgrace from Rugby School in the late 1830s? For more than a century the fate of history's most unpleasant schoolboy was a mystery. Now, with the discovery in a Midlands sale room of a vast collection of papers and manuscripts, the story of Flashman emerges, written in his old age by the arch-cad himself. Nice, vintage copy of this classic novel first published in 1969. 12mo.
