The language of Flashman and the Mountain of Light gives a great deal of flavor to the novel. The author, through the narrator Flashman, for the most part chronicles the adventures in a literary prose rich in visual detail. However, Flashman/Fraser is also adept at capturing the spirit of the spoken word as he recounts instances of dialogue. Whether he is retelling something he said during a moment of surprise or stress or quoting the unusual English spoken by the native residents of the novel's settings, the narrator brings to life the various scenes.
