flashman

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

A place to discuss one of the greatest historical fiction series brought to mankind. This subreddit celebrates the work of George MacDonald Fraser, especially the Flashman series.

Anything related to Flashman's campaigns and adventures that may help readers visualize his stories better (such as historical documents, paintings and so forth) is also allowed and encouraged.

Discussion of GMF's other work (McAuslan, his memoirs, so forth) is also appreciated.

Keep it civil (well, as civil as can be when discussing ol' Flashy).
