Thanks for the thread, hermetic.

Historical fiction covering the first stage of the Hundred Years War. The fictional Thomas of Hookton leaves his native Dorset after the murder of his father by Thomas's own cousin and joins an English army under Edward III as an archer. This is typical Cornwell... rather violent, so not for every taste.

More cold, crappy weather here in the northeast, but the barn cats had their usual warm breakfast.
