Despite the enduring popularity of the Holmes and Watson mysteries, Conan Doyle considered these two knight-in-armor stories to be his finest work. When published in 1891, The White Company became Britain's best-selling book since Ivanhoe, surpassing A Tale of Two Cities, Treasure Island, and other literary giants. Oddly, this is the first time the two have ever been collected in a single volume. This dual edition contains an introduction by George MacDonald Fraser.

From AudioFile
Taking a break from Sherlock Holmes, the author has written an action-packed adventure story set in the fourteenth century. The title refers to a band of English mercenaries fighting in France during this tumultuous era, and the book is true to other chivalric tales of the day. Narrator Nick Rawlinson's buttery English accent sets the perfect tone for this story. His voice is crystal clear, and his accents are impeccable. Rawlinson is able to ease into different dialects within the same conversation while maintaining exceptional diction and pacing. Conan Doyle fans will be especially pleased with this change of pace, and newcomers will delight in a well-told adventure.
