Beschrijving van het boek
The first book in Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling GRAIL QUEST series, in a bright and bold repackage.
The year is 1342. The English, led by Edward III, are laying waste to the French countryside. The army may be led by the King, but it is the archers, the common men, who are England’s secret weapon. The French know them as Harlequins.
Thomas of Hookton is one of these archers. But he is also on a personal mission: to avenge his father’s death and retrieve a stolen relic. Thomas begins a quest that will lead him through fields smeared with the smoke of fires set by the rampaging English, until at last the two armies face each other on a hillside near the village of Crécy.

Amazing A really terrific book. I made the mistake of starting listening to the unabridged version ( I wish the scissor symbol was bigger or a different colour) but that was my dimness. The abridged version is reminiscent of a tv or video as the action of the story is there but for me there is a lack of depth. I am very glad that I decided to give Cornwell a try. I had feared glorification of violence but fortunately found accurate history and an exciting tale.

Took some time to get used to the style of reading. The odd pauses at the end of a sentence almost drove me... ...bonkers. He's been doing quite a good job at impersonating the characters however.
