“It’s the Hundred Years War...not the Thirty Years War”
Right, thanks! I knew it had “years” in it!
I still have it on my kindle, so I’m pretty sure I’ll get around to it again. My friend and her sister were great fans, their dad read it to them when they were little.
It really is a great book. The wrestling match between Hordle John and Sam Aylward - the flight through the forest from the Socman of Minstead - the sword fight on the banks of the Garonne - Sir Oliver Buttesthorne - the tournament - Roger Club-Foot - not to mention the climactic battle. Great stuff.
