A complete set of the twelve Flashman novels, all first UK editions, each signed or inscribed by the author, with two typed letters signed from Fraser to Dennis Wheatley. Comprising: �Flashman (Herbert Jenkins, 1969), near fine in a very fine dustwrapper, signed �George M Fraser�; �Royal Flash� (Barrie & Jenkins, 1970), near fine or better in like dustwrapper, signed; �Flash for Freedom!� (Barrie & Jenkins, 1971), near fine, some foxing to the edges, in like dustwrapper, signed; �Flashman at the Charge� (Barrie & Jenkins, 1973), very good plus, heavy foxing to the edges extending in places into the text, in like dustwrapper, signed; �Flashman in the Great Game� (Barrie & Jenkins, 1975), near fine, with bookplate to front pastedown, in very good price-clipped dustwrapper, faded at the spine with short tear to the front panel, signed; �Flashman�s Lady� (Barrie & Jenkins, 1977), near fine or better in like dustwrapper, inscribed �To William / all good wishes / George Fraser�; �Flashman and the Redskins� (Collins, 1982), very good plus, slightly pushed at the spine tips, in like dustwrapper, inscribed �To Randy / George M Fraser�; �Flashman and the Dragon� (Collins Harvill, 1985), fine in very fine dustwrapper, signed; �Flashman and the Mountain of Light� (Collins Harvill, 1990), near fine, with small rust mark to the fore-edge of the front free endpaper, in like dustwrapper, signed; �Flashman and the Angel of the Lord� (Harvill HarperCollins, 1994), fine in like dustwrapper, inscribed �To Mike Connolly / George Fraser�; �Flashman and the Tiger� (HarperCollins, 1999), very fine in like dustwrapper, signed; and �Flashman on the March� (HarperCollins, 2005), very fine in like dustwrapper, signed. Together with two TLS from Fraser, one from Glasgow, 13 May 1969, thanking Wheatley for his �magnificent review� of Flashman� in the �Glasgow Herald�; the second from the Isle of Man, 27 December 1969, thanking him for his notice in the Daily Mail Christmas books selection. A highly desirable set. Fraser Macdonald was never an abundant signer, and signed copies of several of the middle and later titles are now distinctly uncommon; a complete signed run of the first editions, with contemporary signed correspondence relating to the first novel, is rarely encountered.
