---------

'The White Company' is one of the best historical novels from Doyle set in the backdrop of medieval England, France and Spain during the fourteenth century with plenty of archers, sword fights, inspiring action scenes and exhilarating adventure.

This exciting knight-in-armor story was the result of a meticulous and arduous research by Doyle on the time period of Edward III; about Hundred Years' War; the campaigns of Edward, the Black Prince and the Middle Ages in general. When published in 1891, 'The White Company', was an instant success and was regarded by Doyle in his own words as "the most complete, satisfying and ambitious thing I have ever done."

In this romantic adventure tale Doyle gives a charming historical and geographic description of the Europe during the Hundred Years' War by exposing the reader to characters full of nobility, chivalry and warrior attitude.

The protagonist of the story is the young and innocent Alleyne Edricson who is freshly out exploring the world after a being raised in a monastery. Alleyne's straightforward nature brings him two friends in the form of the vigorous archer Samkin Aylward and the hilarious and extremely strong John of Hordle.

Together they join 'The White Company' - a free company of archers led by the brave and admired Knight Sir Nigel Loring - and Alleyne becomes the armour-bearer to Sir Nigel Loring. Soon 'The White Company' heads out to France and Spain in a quest brimming with hilarious situations, sword fights, danger and carnage.

A delightful and strange adventure story in the vein of The Three Musketeers or The Scarlet Pimpernel

Notă biografică

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes. Originally a physician, in 1887 he published A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels about Holmes and Dr. Watson. In addition, Doyle wrote over fifty short stories featuring the famous detective. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; his non-Sherlockian works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement", helped to popularize the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
