  • "Written in 1906, Sir Nigel is a prequel to Doyle's earlier novel The White Company, and describes the early life of that book's hero Sir Nigel Loring in the service of King Edward III at the start of the Hundred Years' War."@en
  • "This is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's thrilling tale of a young medieval squire's adventures to win his love."
  • "Dame History is so austere a lady that if one, has been so ill-advised as to take a liberty with her, one should hasten to make amends by repentance and confession. Events have been transposed to the extent of some few months in this narrative in order to preserve the continuity and evenness of the story. I hope so small a divergence may seem a venial error after so many centuries. For the rest, it is as accurate as a good deal of research and hard work could make it."@en

  • "A historical romance and tale of adventure, set in England during the fourteenth century. Descendent of a noble family, Nigel Loring is the last of his race, and living alone with his aged grand-mother, upon a small remnant of their great estate."@en
  • "In the stirring wartime novel Sir Nigel, Arthur Conan Doyle follows the battlefield exploits of one Nigel Loring, a brave knight who is said to be based loosely on the historical figure Nele Loring. Loring proves himself as courageous time and time again, winning the respect of his fellow soldiers -- and the love of the beautiful Lady Mary."@en
  • "Set in the middle of the fourteenth century, Sir Nigel is a swashbuckling story of the eponymous hero as he seeks his fortune and the hand of his lady-love in England and France in the early part of the Hundred Years War. It is full of high romance and chivalry, battles and brutality, humour and sheer rumbustiousness as the impoverished Nigel Loring and his lascivious attendant Aylward seek their fortunes. Edward III, the Black Prince, Sir John Chandos - one of the original Knights of the Garter - all make their appearances in one of the favourite books from the creator of Sherlock Holmes."
  • "The story is about a young squire, Sir Nigel, and his quest to perform noble deeds so that he can win the hand of his love. He begins by rescuing a damsel from a scoundrel who would besmirch her honor; there is a small then a large sea battle against the Spanish; there is a journey to a pirate-infested island, and revenge is exacted on its leader; there are jousts, one on one and thirty on thirty; and in final there is a large, desperate battle between huge armies of French and English where much glory and blood is to be found. Nigel is a hero, but he suffers setbacks also."@en
  • "Young Nigel Loring accomplishes three noble deeds as proof that his love for the Lady Mary is no obstacle to honorable achievement. His exploits take him into battle against the French in Brittany, where he attains his knighthood."
  • ""Sir Nigel" is the precursor to Arthur Conan Doyle's earlier novel, "The White Company." It follows Sir Nigel Loring in the earlier years of his life before he is knighted. In the story, Nigel is a young squire who endeavors to win the hand of his love. Conan Doyle is meticulous in his detail and research as he incorporates elements of medieval history and lore. His witty humor makes you feel like you are right beside Nigel on his journey. The novel is packed full of adventure and excitement that will keep you at the edge of your seat. As Nigel ventures out in battle, he encounters the Spanish, the French and dangerous pirates. For lovers of Sherlock Holmes and adventure stories, this will be an instant favorite."@en
