George MacDonald Fraser, most famous for his Flashman novels, died in 2008 – but after his death his family says they’ve now unearthed a new unpublished manuscript.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 in Calico, based on the story of real-life pirate John Rackham, will be published on September 10.
