"Historical novel - Conan Doyle - 'nuff said -"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Classical English is a powerful form of expression. Unfortnuately it is becoming fashionable to avoid its use. For those who still value the pure language, this work is one of those that is a ‘must read’. Not only good language usuage, but a great yarn.

Description

Mention author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the indefatigable super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes surely comes to mind. It may come as a surprise, then, that Doyle's earlier writing includes historical fiction. When first published in 1891, this book became a best-seller in Britain, selling more than A Tale of Two Cities and Treasure Island. Today's fantasy and history readers will revel in the adventures of Alleyne Edricson as he joins the fellowship of the White Company, a band of deftly skilled archers that battle during the Hundred Years War. Unabridged republication of the work originally published by Smith, Elder, & Co., London, 1891.
