Please help me find..

Hello everyone.. DH has just reminded me of a book series I read 20 ish years ago and really enjoyed and I'm going mad trying to find it.. I've tried google and kindle searches..

Hero was a 'cad' and a coward but always came out on top.. he was British but I think it was set during the American Civil War, comedy, maybe 4 books.. actual physical books at the time although not sure that's relevant..

Any ideas please? Thank you!

First one that sprang to mind was George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series.

Amazing!!! That's exactly it!!!! Thank you!!!

Have you read them?

Off to see if I can download them on my kindle now to enjoy again!

Flashman?

Oh, sorry. Too late?

Yes but correct 😀

Inspired by the character Sir Harry Paget Flashman from Tom Brown's Schooldays.

And inspiring Rik Mayall's Flashheart character in Blackadder?

There's also a (reasonably) fun film with Malcolm McDowell called Royal Flash

(My df is a fan )
