About this listen

Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown’s schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents – horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all.

What was Harry Flashman doing on the slopes of Little Bighorn, caught between the gallant remnant of Custer’s 7th Cavalry and the attack of Sitting Bull’s braves? He was trying to get out of the line of fire and escape yet again with his life (if not his honour) intact.

Here is the legendary and authentic West of Mangas Colorado’s Apaches, of Kit Carson, Custer and Spotted Tail, of Crazy Horse and the Deadwood stage, gunfighters and gamblers, scoundrels and Indian belles, enthusiastic widows and mysterious adventuresses. The West as it really was: terrifying!

Critic reviews

'The Flashman Papers do what all great sagas do – winning new admirers along the way but never, ever betraying old ones. It is an immense achievement.' Sunday Telegraph

‘Not so much a march as a full-blooded charge, fortified by the usual lashings of salty sex, meticulously choreographed battle scenes and hilariously spineless acts of self preservation by Flashman.’ Sunday Times

‘Not only are the Flashman books extremely funny, but they give meticulous care to authenticity. You can, between the guffaws, learn from them.’ Washington Post

‘A first-rate historical novelist’ Kingsley Amis

The Wild West is just a touch wilder for the presence of Harry Flashman.... just how many scrapes can one man get into and how many famous people can he encounter? Listen, enjoy and wonder at the historical accuracy, amazing storyline and superb narration as Harry manages to roll his wagon from one disaster to another, only to return 25 years later for more of the same! You’ll love it!

25 years of American adventures...

Excellent all the way through, and ending bravely with Custer and Wild Bill Hickok. No padding anywhere, and covering all the best stories and characters of the old West. Thank you George.

Brilliant

Just awesome.

Why isn't there a statue of Flashy in Central London?

One of the best stories out of the 12, in fact it's my equal 12th favorite.

The longest Flashman book, with two great twists and a surprising meeting near the end

The best of them all. Great read, funny, educational and exciting.

What a great deal of research must have gone into this book to achieve the detail.

Pity George never got round to the Civil War shenanigans hinted at in the book.

Brilliant book

Just love these books

Lovely dove tail with his previous adventures in the US, this sees Flashmans’s sins of 20 years previous catch up with him as he joins the Sioux and Custer on an ill fated adventure

Another great Flashman tale

Excellent black comedy , farce and adventure
Double recommend for anyone interested in 19th century British and American history. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the dramatic reading is excellent. I couldn’t recommend any more highly.

One note of warning: This is book 7 , best to start with book 1

Outstanding

Flashman and the Redskins

Superlative tale of The West through the looking glass of privileged Victorian values. It wouldn’t be published today perhaps so make the most of this High Tory yarn. One of the best of the Flashman papers. GMF is showing off his talent and hard work.
The reader makes a hash of the first person narrative every now and then but he does make an effort with differing accents. It must be tricky but for the price you’d expect an editor to be on hand with an ear for flow.

Historical storytelling genius.
