A cavalcade of the medieval world within two classic novels of
historical fiction
Despite his success with his famous fictional detective, Arthur
Conan Doyle's first love was the historical novel and in his own
estimation he wrote few better than the two collected together in
this book. 'Sir Nigel' was actually written after 'The White
Company, ' but in the Leonaur edition it appears first since within
it the reader is introduced to one of the principal characters of
both novels-Sir Nigel Loring. The scene for these adventures is
England and France in the 14th Century against a backdrop of The
Hundred Years War. Young Nigel in service to his king, Edward III
begins his career as a squire. It is the start a 'rites of passage'
journey which will include the Black Prince among other notables of
the period, skirmishes at sea and ultimately the monumental Battle
of Poitiers. 'The White Company' continues Sir Nigel's story as
once again he campaigns against the French, this time in company
with a new young hero, Alleyne Edricson. As usual this Leonaur
edition allows collectors to own these essential novels as a
combined set within a single substantial volume available in both
soft back and hardcover with dust jacket.
