New book for Flashman author

Fans are eagerly awaiting the publication of a last-novel by a Manx-based bestselling author.

George MacDonald Fraser, most famous for his Flashman novels, died in 2008 - but after his death his family say they've now unearthed a new unpublished manuscript.

The novel, written 60 years ago, was locked away in a fireproof safe in his old study at his former home in Baldrine and will now make it 　into print.　

They say Captain Calico, based on the story of real-life pirate John Rackham, will be published on September 10.
