'''George MacDonald Fraser''' (1925 - 2008) was a British writer known for his humorous historical fiction. Best known for the ''[[Flashman]]'' series, he also wrote the ''[[McAuslan]]'' series (inspired by his military service in the 1940s, which also resulted in the non-fiction memoir ''Quartered Safe Out Here'') and several stand-alone novels.
He also worked as a screenwriter, writing or co-writing the screenplays to the [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] film ''[[Octopussy]]'', Richard Lester's ''[[The Three Musketeers (1973 film)|The Three Musketeers 1973]]'' and sequels, and Lester's film version of Fraser's own ''[[Flashman|Royal Flash]]'', among others.
