'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

About the Author:

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle(22 May 1859 - 7 July 1930) was an Irish-Scots writer and physician, most noted for creating the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and writing stories about him which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction.

He is also known for writing the fictional adventures of a second character he invented, Professor Challenger, and for popularising the mystery of the Mary Celeste. He was a prolific writer whose other works include fantasy and science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels.

Supported by wealthy uncles, Doyle was sent to the Jesuit preparatory school Hodder Place, Stonyhurst, at the age of nine (1868-70). He then went on to Stonyhurst College until 1875. From 1875 to 1876, he was educated at the Jesuit school Stella Matutina in Feldkirch, Austria.

From 1876 to 1881 he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, including periods working in Aston (then a town in Warwickshire, now part of Birmingham), Sheffield and Ruyton-XI-Towns, Shropshire.

Doyle struggled to find a publisher for his work. His first work featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, A Study in Scarlet, was taken by Ward Lock & Co on 20 November 1886, giving Doyle £25 (£2500 today) for all rights to the story. The piece appeared one year later in the Beeton's Christmas Annual and received good reviews in The Scotsman and the Glasgow Herald.

While living in Southsea, Doyle played football as a goalkeeper for Portsmouth Association Football Club, an amateur side, under the pseudonym A. C. Smith.
