Conan The White Company Produced by Charles Keller, Carlo Traverso, Tonya Allen, Samuel S. Johnson, and David Widger "The White Company" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the 14th century and follows a group of adventurous characters, particularly focusing on a young man named Alleyne Edricson as he navigates his way through a world that is both chaotic and vibrant, trying to find his place in it. The book captures themes of chivalry, friendship, and the harsh realities of life during the medieval period. The opening of the novel introduces the disarray within the Abbey of Beaulieu as Abbot Berghersh calls the monks together for an urgent matter. The narrative begins to unfold with the expulsion of a novice monk named Hordle John, who is of strong build and character. John, accused of a variety of misdeeds including drinking excessively and being caught in the company of a woman, makes a dramatic exit, setting the stage for Alleyne Edricson's own emergence from the Abbey to face the outside world. Alleyne, who feels sadness at leaving, is also filled with anticipation as he embarks on a journey towards independence, navigating the complexities and adventures that lie ahead.
