It says so in the introduction to the omnibus edition. I knew that before I even started reading the stories.-1 to Dave for totally missing the inspiration.
Incidentally, the Flashman Papers are finally available in Kindle format, if anyone's interested in such things. Worth a read, really - I finished the second one this evening, in one sitting.

Grimaldus +1 for doggedly sticking it out despite repeated attempts to reduce his score.
Cain -1 because without Jurgen he'd have been killed a dozen times over and this isnt a tag team event.
