Mention author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the indefatigable super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes surely comes to mind. It may come as a surprise, then, that Doyle's earlier writing includes historical fiction. When first published in 1891, this book became a best-seller in Britain, selling more than A Tale of Two Cities and Treasure Island. Today's fantasy and history readers will revel in the adventures of Alleyne Edricson as he joins the fellowship of the White Company, a band of deftly skilled archers that battle during the Hundred Years War. Unabridged republication of the work originally published by Smith, Elder, & Co., London, 1891.
