Bernard Cornwell For Dummies

- Prologue: Troubled Lad goes to fight in some war he has no opinion on.
- He ends up with a few minor "character building" scratches that endear him to the female persuasion.
- Gets a bit of pokey-pokey while nobody's looking.
- Troubled Lad gets conscripted.
- Frenchies wearing surcoats and tabards and weilding poleaxes crush the skulls of the English.
- English wearing surcoats and tabards and weilding poleaxes crush the skulls of the Frenchies.
- Frenchies wearing surcoats and tabards and weilding poleaxes crush the skulls of the English.
- English wearing surcoats and tabards and weilding poleaxes crush the skulls of the Frenchies.
- English suddenly win.
- Troubled lad gets constipated.
- More pokey-pokey for near-mortally-wounded Troubled Lad.
- Epilogue
- Historical Notes (explaining all the bits the the Author made up off the top of his head).





So that saves you buying one of his books, or rather TWO of his books, as they are all identical, even the names of the people.

Rubbish.

Who is Bernard Cornwell? :confused:

I'm going to throw out a wild guess here and say.. Astronaut.

Ahhh... that explains it.

I always wanted to read one of his books. Thanks for saving me the trouble.
:wave:

I'm getting one just for the pokey-pokey part.

It's not what you're thinking. It's how they referred to billiards in ancient times.

:cry:
