Arthur Conan Doyle : The white company before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The white company:

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The White CompanyBy S. LoftinThis is a great book. Probably originally written to appeal to younger male readers, it is an enjoyable read. The thing that I liked the most is that today the book would be considered politically incorrect. Examples: men protect the women and fight to gain their honor; pretty much every character is a Christian and faith is an integral part of the character's lives and motivations; there is a well defined dichotomy between good people and actions, and bad people and actions. Enough political incorrectness to force an SJW college student to seek a "safe space".All those things were once common in Western literature, but have gradually been removed from much of modern literature - one reason that I enjoyed reading "The White Company". It is also interesting to learn more about the time when it was written - the medieval period of European and English history. There were many words in the book that even the Kindle dictionary couldn't decipher. To me, a book needs to challenge me with ideas, or vocabulary or a new worldview to make it worth reading. This book does.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The difference is amazing. The Dover is a properly published bookBy Mr. Kenneth G. DaviesI ordered this from with , the prequel, published by Dover. The difference is amazing. The Dover is a properly published book, with professional typesetting, an introduction by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle explaining his use of modern English with a few archaisms instead of attempting to write in Middle English, full publishing information, and the original illustrations from the 1906 edition. In contrast, this edition of The White Company looks like a print-on-demand Kindle edition. Chapters do not begin on a new page, but are run on from the preceding chapter. The typesetting might be OK for a company report completed in Word, but does not make for easy reading. The font is far smaller than in the Dover edition. The cover art stretches half-way across the spine so that the book does not exactly look good on your bookshelf. I tried looking for an alternative edition of this book on but got tired of checking the 115 alternatives, which looked to be the same thing with different cover art. I hope I will eventually find a readable version of The White Company on another bookseller site or find a good used copy in a real bookshop (or Abebooks).1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Of its time.By W. RawadyJohn Wayne's favorite book was sure to be a bit on the right wing side so I was not really surprised. This is a fun book though due to the linguistic skill mastered by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of fame. He has done amazing research to achieve the writing and his characters are interesting as always. Dated but a classic. The supremacy of Britain is his main theme with little acknowledgement of the importance of other groups in the world. Which is to be expected and 'of its time'.

About the AuthorThe creator of Sherlock Holmes, the world's most famous literary detective. Born in Scotland, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a practising doctor when he began to write tales of mystery and adventure. In addition to the Sherlock Holmes stories, Conan Doyle also wrote the adventures, and his classic, The Lost World, is one of the original fantasy novels. Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh's Medical School. Graduating in 1881, he set up practice as an occultist, but as patients proved elusive he turned to writing. An important influence upon his literary career was his professor, Dr Joseph Bell, who could observe the most minute detail regarding a patient's condition. This master of deduction became the model for Conan Doyle's legendary literary creation, the detective Sherlock Holmes, introduced in '' in 1887. Conan Doyle also espoused and devoted considerable time and effort to a campaign of support for this cause. He also wrote successfully in genres other than detective fiction. His non-fiction includes military writing on the Boer War and pamphlets on spiritualism. It is known that he felt constricted at times by the popularity of Holmes, but it is nevertheless for Sherlock Holmes and his foil, the ponderous Dr Watson that he is best remembered. As Sherlock Holmes was the first detective to solve cases by deduction rather than due to an error by the criminal, Conan Doyle can be credited with creating the modern detective novel. He was knighted in 1902 for his support of the British cause in the Boer Wars. After the death of his son in the First World War, he devoted the rest of his life to spiritualism on which he wrote and lectured.
