Über diesen Titel

Set in the middle of the 14th century, Sir Nigel is a swashbuckling story of the eponymous hero as he seeks his fortune and the hand of his lady-love in England and France in the early part of the Hundred Years War.

It is full of high romance and chivalry, battles and brutality, humour and sheer rumbustiousness as the impoverished Nigel Loring and his lascivious attendant Aylward seek their fortunes. Edward III, the Black Prince, Sir John Chandos - one of the original Knights of the Garter - all make their appearances in one of the favourite books from the creator of Sherlock Holmes.

A bit much of a muchness of chivalry. Yet a somewhat charming story with lots of clearly defined virtue and vice. In my days of romanticism, when I was much younger and full full of idealistic ideas, I might have been completely taken in by Sir Nigel. That this was written by the author of Sherlock Holmes is a bit surprising. But then, there is at least one other novel by ACD, that's also not about Holmes and Watson, can't remember the title, but it's about an island where prehistoric creatures have survived the eons.
