Captain Jim-sib Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Twas sadden to hear that author George MacDonald Fraser passed away. Many a side-splitting laugh he provided as well as enlighten on history via Flashman. The Pyrates is a classic.

BriarRose Kildare Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thank you Captain Jim for posting this. May the dear man be at peace now on the other side. It is always sad to lose some one with such great talent. You have given me something now to look for to read. I read the article and am now truly interested. I found the description of his books very intriguing. Thank you and many blessings.
