FLASHMAN AND THE MOUNTAIN OF LIGHT. From The Flashman Papers 1845-46.

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Arthur Barbosa illustrated dustwrapper. With three black and white map illustrations by Ken Lewis. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh, a touch rubbed to the tail and with just a hint of fading to the head of the spine. The contents, with some toning to the closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is faded to the spine and is otherwise without loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£13.95 net to the lower front flap).

Signed by George MacDonald Fraser in blue ink on the title page. The ninth instalment, and the fourth chronological story, in the The Flashman Papers.
