S3E45 Conan Doyle's historical novel The White Company is today's subject of discussion; another of Edinburgh's most famous literary residents tackling material previously used by Shakespeare. A tale of a ragtag gang of archers in the Hundred Year's War, The White Company was once the most widely published historical novel after Ivanhoe. So why is it so rarely read today? Joining Ash to discuss The White Company is journalist and biographer Andrew Lycett, who has published two books on Conan Doyle, including a celebrated biography from 2007. Tune in next time to hear more about Andrew's work, and in the meantime check out his publications here:
Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops. All other music by Epidemic Sound.
