The White Company is a motley group of English mercenaries, fighting under the leadership of Sir Nigel Loring. Bound by an unquestioning respect for social order, patriotism, and a lust for adventure, the company makes its way to France to fight in the local wars. Encountering pirate ships and other dramas during their crossing, they finally land at Bordeaux and become involved with the fighting at the siege of Chateau of Villefranch du Perigord and in the Spanish Pyrenees.

With assiduous attention to historical detail, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle paints a convincing picture of the chivalric life and manners of the 14th century. With a fresh, concise style, this is a robust and stirring tale of adventure with the spirit and humorous touch of a Chaucerian raconteur.

What a wonderful story!

At first I was somewhat nervous in purchasing this book, but should have known better, with Doyle being one of my favorite authors.

The story flows well in the classic sense. And the characters were well developed.

The narrator did an excellent job in making all of the characters 'come alive.'

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great classics.

This book has few equals in my opinion. And the performance was wonderfully done. This book harkens back to ages past and weaves a wonderful tale of knights and glory. Rich entertaining characters and a vivid landscape. I highly recommend this book.

Such a good story!

I love this book, a great novel by a great author.
narrator, however is awful. almost every character voice is done with higher pitch. Hordle John sounds like a teenager, sir Nigel speaks like an adolescent boy and the list goes on.

at parts it gets so annoying that it becomes hard to concentrate on the book.
I give it 3 stars for that reason only. the book itself is superb

great book, annoying voice

The White Company (Unabridged)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the author; he is one of the best and brings into the minds eye the medieval period as if he had been there himself. Worth having to listen to over and over again.

Excellent reader/actor Nick Rawlinson the characters come to life.

Great, WOW!!!
