Industry Reviews
'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
