The White Company

The White Company is a motley group of English mercenaries fighting under the leadership of Sir Nigel Loring. Bound by an unquestioning respect for social order patriotism and a lust for adventure the company makes its way to France to fight in the local wars. With assiduous attention to historical detail Conan Doyle paints a convincing picture of the chivalric life and manners of the 14th century. With a fresh concise style this is a robust and stirring tale of adventure with the spirit and humorous touch of a Chaucerian raconteur.
