Author is a bestselling author of historical fiction: `Few authors can capture the fifteenth-century so vividly' THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Ablaze with colour, smell and sound, for lovers of the historical novel, this is a feast' VOGUE. Illustrated throughout with contemporary images. A small English expeditionary force in Northern France battling to reach the coast before being cut off by an enemy superior in numbers and equipment; a victory plucked from the jaws of certain-seeming defeat - this story is familiar in the twentieth century. It is also the story of Agincourt in the fifteenth. The distinguished historical novelist Rosemary Hawley Jarman here recreates the whole of the brief, foolhardy expedition mounted by a 28-year-old English king determined to regain the realm across the Channel he believed was his by right.
