Good book to read: The Archer's Tale by Bernard Cornwell

The book, The Archer's Tale is the first novel from the trilogy of the Grail Series. The triology was wirtten by Bernard Cornwell, one of the best writers alive in my opinion, and it portrays the life of a skilled English archer called Thomas of Hookton(Thomas Vexille he later finds out). The story takes place in Europe( basically Britain, France and Normandy) during the mid 14th century, or, the 100 Years War between France and England. After the raid over his peaceful village of Hookton and the assasination of his father, Thomas makes a promise to pursue the assasin, which is known as Harlequin(devil warrior) and turns out to be his cousin. By making this promise, Thomas embarks on a quest that makes of him a great archer of the English army and an explorer of the holy grail. It is an extremely interesting book and even though it posseses some fiction it still teaches a lot about history including a deep description of the english archers. I strongly reccommmend any one reading this post to buy this book and read it because you will learn quite a lot about this century as well as having a fun leasure time reading it.
