Description

Chivalry and Adventure at Its Best in At Agincourt – White Hoods of Paris



A story of courage and chivalry placed in a time when heroes wore armor and fought valiantly on the battlefield, facing their adversaries and always comingout on top, White Hoods of Paris is an enchanting tale full of intrigue and powerful lessons about coming of age and facing the harshest difficulties of life with great success.

Guy Aylmer, a 17 year old man-at-arms, who, together with his lord, Sir Eustace-a knight with allegiances both in France and England, quickly became second in command serving in the defense of Sir Eustace’s English castle. After repelling an attack from supporters of the Duke of Orleans, however, Sir Eustace’s brave men realize that everything is not as it seems, and a precarious, volatile political situation ensues where clever plans and intelligence become just as important as courage, and it becomes difficult to even see what the future will bring as you slowly become completely immersed in this exciting medieval tale.

George Alfred Henty, a skilled writer, as well as a war correspondent, is the perfect man for the job of authoring a thrilling tale of this magnitude. At Agincourt – White Hoods of Paris is considered one of his most successful novels, and even though it was written in 1897, well after the times of the 100 Year War, or Sir Eustace and Guy Aylmer’s adventures, the book will undoubtedly manage to bring that enchanting and exciting world to life as soon as you begin reading it.

Henty’s impressive career as an author was at its peak at the time when At Agincourt was written, and his masterful style and ability to effortlessly portray complex, evolving characters and plot developments, becomes obvious once you progress through this engaging read.
