    Toxophilus, by R. Ascham and J. A. Giles. Part II. Jun 27, 2024
    Show notes

    Toxophilus is a book about target archery using the English Longbow. The book is divided into two parts: The first part is an extended argument that target archery should be encouraged as a healthy activity benefiting both the individual and the defense of the country; the second part is an instruction manual about the use of the English longbow for target archery.

    In 1545, when the book was written, the English Longbow had been in continuous use in European warfare since the medieval period. Ascham points out that target archery is the perfect preparation for the use of the longbow in warfare, so it is likely that the techniques and equipment he describes are very similar to those used by soldiers right back to the hundred years war.

    Modern archers may be surprised at Ascham’s knowledge about the effect of equipment on shooting performance. Amongst other subjects, Ascham describes finger spacers, arrow spine, barrelled shafts, control of bow hand placement, nocking point, and a draw length indicator.

    Ascham dedicated Toxophilus to King Henry VIII (who was a keen archer). The King was so pleased with the book that he granted Ascham a pension of ten pounds per year.

    Edited by J. A. Giles.

    "...this is an absolutely magnificent work of art! Poetry — song — & the ultimate quintessence of atmospheric morbidity & horror...the main stream is superb — the terrible quest of a scholar back through the corridors of memory, personal & ancestral. Ugh! The strange odour…. & that hellish hound Tod, that bays in the night…. Don’t miss it!"

    (Summary by H. P. Lovecraft, 1928)

    Sir Nigel, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Part VIII. Jun 24, 2024
    Show notes

    By 1348 the House of Loring has fallen on hard times. Together, the Black Death and the greedy monks of Waverley have bled away all of the Loring wealth. Even the manor house will have to go to pay their debts.

    Then a chance encounter with the King of England provides Nigel, the last of the Lorings, with the chance to seek his fortune in the constant wars with France. But more importantly for Nigel it also means that he may be able to do the "three small deeds" that will show he is worthy to ask for the hand of the Lady Mary in marriage.

    Filled with chivalry, humour, and high romance, Sir Nigel is simply a rattling good yarn.
