In 1366, young Alleyne Edricson, raised by monks in a Hampshire abbey, goes out into the world at twenty and falls in with a band of English archers and soldiers of fortune, the White Company, recruited for a war in Spain. With the huge, rough archer Hordle John and the veteran bowman Samkin Aylward, he becomes squire to the brave little knight Sir Nigel Loring and follows him through adventures in France and Spain, falling in love with Sir Nigel's daughter, Maude.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born in Edinburgh, trained as a doctor and wrote stories while waiting for patients at his practice in Southsea. Sherlock Holmes, modelled partly on his old teacher Joseph Bell, who could diagnose a patient's life at a glance, first appeared in 1887 and soon made Doyle one of the best-paid writers in the world.
