About This Item
New York: Knopf, 1972. 1st American Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. ROYAL FLASH! by George MacDonald Fraser. First American Edition. Book 3 in the Flashman series of Harry Flashman, coward, scoundrel, lover and cheat. A fine book in a fine dust jacket. Spine & hinges sound. Maroon cloth, title stamped in gilt on spine, deckled edges to text block. Corners not bumped. Not ex. library, no remainder mark, not price clipped, not a book club edition. A game of cards leads Flashman from the jungle death-house of Dahomey to the slave state of Mississippi as he dabbles in the slave trade in Volume III of the "Flashman Papers". When Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future - would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference? Once again Flashman's charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.
