Harry Paget Flashman

Brigadier-General Sir Harry Paget Flashman is a fictional character originally created by the author Thomas Hughes in his semi-autobiographical work Tom Brown's Schooldays, first published in 1857. The book is set at Rugby School, where Flashman is a notorious bully who persecutes its eponymous hero, Tom Brown. In Hughes' book, Flashman is finally expelled for drunkenness.

Flashman's Ladies

Flashman's stories are dominanted by his numerous amourous encounters. The women he gets tangled with not mere window dressing against the backdrop of Flashy's life. They represent truly pivotal characters in the unpredictable twists and turns that make the books so interesting and intriguing. Several of them are prominent historical personages by their own right.
