I've always had mixed feelings about the Flashman books (certainly not for children!). The character was that most vile of things - a bully. Then he was taken from a children's book to become the 'hero' of adult books - but still a bully and worse.
I read the first one when it came out, and thought it mildly clever to re-work a character in this way but never read any of the others. The interest and praise that was published when Macdonald Fraser died actually surprised me!
