I've just finished reading "The White Company" and the companion piece "Sir Nigel" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Have any of you ever read any of Doyle's other works? If not, I highly recommend these novels. It's a little known fact that Doyle thought these works were better than his Sherlock stories and was constantly annoyed at home much attention those stories received over his historical fiction. The books are set at the beginning of the Hundred Years War and includes an astonishing amount of real life historical characters and the sort of attention to period detail that only someone like Doyle could deliver.
