Sir Nigel is a historical novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. It is set in the 14th century during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and follows the adventures of a young English knight named Nigel Loring.Nigel, the son of a noble family, is determined to prove himself as a true knight and serve his country in battle. He travels to France with his loyal squire, Samkin Aylward, and joins the army of Edward III. Together they fight in several battles, including the famous Battle of Poitiers.Along the way, Nigel falls in love with Lady Mary, the daughter of a French nobleman, and must navigate the complicated politics of war and love. He also encounters various historical figures, such as the Black Prince and Bertrand du Guesclin.The novel is a tale of chivalry, bravery, and honor, as Nigel strives to uphold the ideals of knighthood in a time of war and turmoil. It is also a vivid depiction of medieval life, with detailed descriptions of battles, castles, and everyday customs.Sir Nigel is a classic adventure story that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and Conan Doyle's other works.In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
