Goodnight Mr. Flashman

I am pretty sad this morning, to learn that George MacDonald Fraser has passed. I have loved his Flashman books since I was a teenager. Flash Harry was one of the great literary characters. He was a coward, a braggart and a bully, but he was also funny and cunning and a great anti-hero. Thank you Mr. Fraser for many years of reading pleasure and goodnight Flashy. I expect you have conned your way into Heaven by now and are busy chatting up Joan of Arc.
