Flashman and the Dragon Review: RIBALD BRITISH HISTORICAL FICTION (1860s). - Another captivating episode. Surprisingly, well written; in fact, rivals the first Flashman volume. Flashman's narcissistic self-absorption incites laughter, as he persistently seeks to mask his cowardly slothful nature, by appearing as a macho patriotic hero. His rationale: "The principal aim, remember, is to win the greatest possible credit to yourself, which calls not only for the exclusion of anything that might damage you, but also for the judicious understatement of those things which tell in your favour, if any; brush 'em aside, never boast, let appearances speak for themselves" (p. 262). A dastardly conniving rogue. Review: Just Wonderful - George MacDonald Fraser was awesome. Flashman is the world's greatest literary character (can't say "hero"; he's definitely not that!) I have loved everyone of his books; the wit, satire, and lack of political correctness are a breath of fresh air, even though some of his books are over 40 years old. This book is right up there with his other works; a fabulous, fun read! And, even if you don't like history, you can't help but learn from it; full of little-known facts and scrupulously researched. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #332,341 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #271 in British & Irish Humor & Satire #1,575 in Historical British & Irish Literature #11,403 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Book 8 of 12 | Flashman | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (820) | | Dimensions | 5.2 x 0.87 x 7.91 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 0452261910 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0452261914 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | July 1, 1987 | | Publisher | Penguin Publishing Group | ## Images ![Flashman and the Dragon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71t+fDAdKxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RIBALD BRITISH HISTORICAL FICTION (1860s). *by B***U on March 12, 2023* Another captivating episode.

The first five Flashman novels were presented in chronological order. This "packet", like its two immediate predecessors, acts to fill in a previous "gap" in the Flashman timeline. From a chronological standpoint, the adventures of this novel immediately follow those contained in Flashman and the Great Game, wherein we left Flashman in the wake of heroic deeds committed in the course of quelling the great Indian Mutiny. After a brief stint in British occupied Hong Kong, Harry believes himself to be on the verge of a return to merry old England and the bosom of his lovely wife Elspeth, only to be drafted into further military service as an intelligence officer in the service of a dangerous diplomatic adventure. As in the previous Flashman novels, our Harry is revealed as the premier coward and opportunist of his era; faults which he quite willingly admits and even boasts of. Much as a prior day Forrest Gump, he has a way of finding himself among the most powerful and famous personages of his era, as he takes part in the great events of the period, in this case, first hand experience in the Taiping Rebellion and Opium Wars of the mid-19th century, including an audience with the Chinese Emperor. Aside from uproarious fun and games, the Flashman series is set against historical events and actually serves as an educational experience. On to volume nine of the Flashman Papers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/22244987-flashman-and-the-dragon](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/22244987-flashman-and-the-dragon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
