Paperback, [PU: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform], Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- This book by Arthur Conan Doyle is the background story to his earlier novel The White Company, and describes the early life of that book's hero Nigel Loring, a knight in the service of King Edward III in the first phase of the Hundred Years' War. The character is loosely based on the historical knight Neil Loring. Chivalric deeds, bloody battles, bouts with ships, deeds of arms, chevauchées, robber barons and clever archers abound in this nice prequel to The White Company which follows the younger years of Sir Nigel, a minor noble of a house of great renown for the bravery of his knights, now down on its fortune after the premature death of its Lord (whose memory of heroic deeds is humorously capped by a I-slipped-on-a-bar-of soap kind of demise) and plagued by greedy men of the cloth brandishing injunctions like swords. The young and stalwart (and broke) squire Nigel dreams to live the life of the true knight, full of justice, honor, loyalty, courtesy and bravery. "Young and hot-headed with wild visions of dashing deeds and knight errantry," as skilled as candid, Nigel embarks in the adventure of his life and the reader follows him as he encounters his chivalrous warhorse, faces bureaucrat clergy, obstructs petty nobles and promises the love of his life to return after "worshipfully winning worship" following his King and Prince in France, "that land of chivalry and glory, the stage where name and fame were to be." From the English countryside to Poitiers, Doyle depicts the society of the time, its customs and particularly the flaws and virtues of its human types, the social inequality, with many parallels to the contemporary world. In the end, Sir Nigel returns to England where he weds Lady Mary. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy!

The tale, at its outset, traces the fortunes of the family of Loring of the Manor of Tilford in Surrey, many of whose scions had been prominent in the service of the Norman and Angevin Kings of England, against the backdrop of the Black Death. The tale starts with the problems the family and its last scion, Nigel Loring, face at the hands of the monks of Waverley Abbey, up to the coming of Sir John Chandos. Playing the host to King Edward III of England, Nigel asks to be taken into his service, a request that is complied with by his being made squire to Sir John Chandos. In order to make himself worthy of the hand of the Lady Mary, daughter of Sir John Buttesthorn, he vows to perform three deeds of honour to her. Nigel and his follower Samkin Aylward arrive at Winchelsea, whence they take passage to Calais. En route, he manages to intercept Peter the Red Ferret, a French spy who had stolen certain papers of Sir John Chandos. Since these papers had some bearing upon the English defence of Calais in view of a projected French attack, it was considered necessary in the extreme to recover them. Having defeated the spy in single combat, Nigel is overcome by the wounds he receives and is laid up in the Castle of Calais. When the king visits the young squire to praise his courage, he mentions that the spy is to be hanged. This outrages Nigel, who had promised the Red Ferret quarter, and he crosses purposes with the king. Although the king is enraged by the squire's impertinence, at the intercession of Sir John Chandos, he yields. Nigel Loring then proceeds to set the Red Ferret free after having taken from him his word not to violate the truce and a visit to the Lady Mary, to fulfil his promise to her.
