This is a great loss. I’m the only woman I know who loved the Flashman series, and I always hoped Fraser could pull himself together to write a last great book more about Sir Harry in the War Between the States. But the research he did was so vast that it’s easy to see why he wouldn’t do it.

Count me in as another Female Flashman Fan (and note that poor Harry always winds up writhing in remorse as he knows the truth, even if nobody else does.)

But have you read Fraser's MacAuslan books? "Play up, play up, and git tore in!" "That's a right Catholic question, yon" "Private Piltdown himself" "Foul trolls from the dark ages had dug that bunker" "Mah spurs gae jingle jangle jingle, sae they do . . . "

Also, his history of the Borders, The Steel Bonnets is splendid.

Rest in peace, sir, you will be sorely missed.
