“Then call we this, the field of Agincourt.” (Shakespeare: “Henry V”) 1415, Davey and Tom, two eighteen- year old lads looking for excitement, join Henry V’s army despite their parents’ and girlfriends’ wishes. The king is determined to regain his lost lands in France, and the two lads, now archers in his army, set sail for France hoping for adventures and the spoils of war. Their hopes of a quick and glorious victory are shattered during the prolonged siege at Harfleur where they witness the deaths of thousands of their fellow soldiers and some of their friends. Eventually, the king’s forces prevail, but now this small and sickly army must march many miles to meet the over-confident French army at Agincourt. Will the dispirited English army have any chance this time? Will our heroes return to England rich and unharmed to marry their sweethearts? Based on much historical research, this novel gives the reader a new and distinctive insight into what it was like to be a medieval soldier at one of England’s finest military events.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. History for YA By Mainer I would give this one 3 1/2 stars. It is the story of two young men, Davey and Tom, who decide to sign up to join the army of Henry V. The book is told through Davey's eyes. They are involved in the siege of Honfleur and then in the battle of Agincourt.The history is solid and that was part of my problem with the book. I have trouble believing that two young men, one who could barely read, would have as much inside knowledge of the goings on as these two did. Even some of the stories going back to the battle of Shrewsbury, while extremely accurate and detailed, seemed unlikely as to be known and recounted by these young men.The book is well-written with a few errors such as Uncle Rafe who is referred to as both Davey and Tom's uncle at points in the story. There is also some modern speech (I think Davey says something like 'he's a good kid') that seems inappropriate to the time.I think this is a good book for teens to get them involved in English history and would recommend it as such. I was given this book by the publisher for an honest review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful. Mr By Suzanne Turenne Reed Well, this was just as I thought it would be. Wonderful. Mr. D-Y (as I type him) is a great writer. So far, I have read 6 Million Acusers, which is about the hunt and capture of a notorious Nazi killer, and a couple of other great books I can't name at the moment. Six was a very deep book. Arrows is more juvenile, yet not kiddish in any way. Told from the perspective of two 18 year olds who go to war in France under King Henry V, they quickly grow up, learning that war is not glorious. All they want to do now is get back home safely to their sweethearts and grow old and die in their beds with a bevy of grandkids surrounding them. Before I read this book, I knew quite a bit about Agincourt so I knew where the book was leading. Mr D-Y hit the mark, using his writer's talent to broaden my knowledge even further. I enjoy his writing very much and look forward to his nest writings. The only problem I have with him- he likes Shakespeare. I can't stand the old bard.
