Summary
The first installment of the putative memoirs of Harry Flashman, the consummate bully of TOM BROWN'S SCHOOLDAYS. Writing as an old man, Flashman sets the record straight on the real circumstances of his expulsion from Rugby, then goes on to relate his adventures in India and Afghanistan as an officer of the 11th Light Dragoons, which he joined as a young man. Thoroughly lacking in any sort of principle, Flashman manages (through luck and want of scruple) not only to find his way in the world but to flourish.
