Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Alleyne Edricson è cresciuto tranquillo tra i monaci, e ora deve uscire in un mondo duro. Sulla strada incontra due arcieri, l'allegro Samkin Aylward e l'enorme Hordle John, e un gentile vecchio cavaliere, Sir Nigel, che ama l'onore più della sicurezza. Insieme si uniscono alla Compagnia Bianca, una banda di arcieri inglesi, e salpano per combattere in Francia e in Spagna. È una grande e luminosa avventura, piena di battute, battaglie e amici fedeli.
