Royal Flash - first UK edition

by George MacDonald Fraser

Second book in the Flashman series. Flashman gets caught up in behind-the-scenes machinations over a simple case of mixed identity; except he's deceiving the bride and her court!. Attempting to duck involvement in a power struggle with Bismarck and Lola Montez, Flashy's exploits take him through London gaming halls, European dungeons, and English hunting fields. The James Bond of the 19th century carries the destiny of the Continent in his hands.

Book is bright red cloth with silver stamped lettering. Near fine book with Near fine jacket; small wrinkle to inside bottom corner of jacket. Minimal sunning to spine. An excellent, collectible copy.  NY Times Magazine piece on the real Lola Montez folded in.  

Enjoy the fine wrap-around artwork by A. E. Barbosa.
