The Complete McAuslan

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Thanks to Fraser's passion for history, his rare gift for rattling narrative and his infectious delight in robust, rollicking language, we can rejoice in a work of genius worthy of being ranked with P.G. Wodehouse - there can be no higher accolade'-Daily Telegraph


'Written with the kind of unaffected vigour which has characterised the greatest British humorists, these stories do for the Scots what Flann O'Brien did for the Irish and P.G. Wodehouse for the English'-Daily Mail


'The third McAuslan volume should certainly be among the first books you pack this or any other holiday season'-The Times


'One takes leave of these characters with real and grateful regret'-Sunday Times


'It's a while since I enjoyed a book so much, and once I'd finished it, I felt like starting it all over again'-Glasgow Evening Times


'It's great fun and rings true: a Highland Fling of a book'-Eric Linklater, author of The Wind on the Moon


'The greatest book about soldiers since Ian Hay wrote The First Hundred Thousand ... MacDonald Fraser is magnificent'-Eric Hiscock, author of Around the World in Wanderer III


'As well as providing a fine assortment of treats, George MacDonald Fraser is a marvellous reporter and a first-rate historical novelist'-Kingsley Amis, author of Lucky Jim
