About this eBook

Author Doyle, Arthur Conan, 1859-1930
Title Sir Nigel
Note Reading ease score: 85.8 (6th grade). Easy to read.
Summary "Sir Nigel" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. It centers on the life of Nigel Loring, a young knight, and his struggles during the turbulent times of the 14th century in England, particularly against the backdrop of the Black Death and conflicts with monastic authorities. At the start of the book, the narrative sets a somber tone, describing the ominous arrival of a great cloud that heralds a disastrous plague across England, leading to widespread death and decay. The story quickly introduces readers to Lady Ermyntrude Loring and her grandson Nigel, who live in the impoverished Manor of Tilford. As remnants of a noble lineage, their lives are overshadowed by continuous strife with Waverley Abbey and its relentless claims against their estate. Nigel emerges as a courageous young man yearning for adventure, even as his grandmother tries to shield him from the dangers of war and further loss. The opening lays a foundation for themes of honor, legacy, and the societal upheaval spurred by the plague, setting the stage for Nigel's eventual rise to knightly exploits and conflicts.
