The White Company indeed! Mercs and Moors and stout-hearted Englishmen! Fine stuff.
The Black Arrow, btw, is my very favorite of those illustrated by NC. And the prep school I attended in Delaware has a mural of his that covers a wall in the dining hall. Pale Christian boys adoring a madonna figure, while captains of industry and pillars of the Episcopal Church are inspired by Christopher Wren and his ilk to create a little slice of England in a cornfield in Delaware. Most kids to day think it looks like Hogwarts.

Dear Berks. ,
My guesses are THE WHITE COMPANY or SIR NIGEL .
cordially ,
David Corbett
P.S. Now if they brandished crossbows it would be THE BLACK ARROW

Are we talking The White Company? http://www.amazon.com/White-Company-Books-Wonder/dp/0688078176

NC indeed, but not A Boy's King Arthur (though I have and love that volume as well). What if I told you that the author was a fellow better known for the denizens of 221B Baker St.?

A Boy's King Arthur :-)
Posted by: Sissy Willis | November 09, 2008 at 04:49 PM
Oh, my. I'm totally intrigued. Back to the Googleboard!
Not NC?

Same school of illustrating, but not Pyle!
Posted by: Tim Abbott | November 09, 2008 at 03:47 PM
It looks like one of Howard Pyle's King Arthur illustrations . . . I haven't read them but HAVE studied years ago under illustrator Norman Baer, a follower of Pyle's way of "seeing."
