If this isn’t taken up as a screenplay for a non-shakespearean telling of the battle of Agincourt then there is no justice in the world. The movie that has to be made, a true underdog tale from the master of historical fiction, Bernard Cornwell. The big story is the actual Agincourt campaign of Henry V, the fictional little story is the compelling account of a lowly English longbowman. Fans of fantasy, history and military adventures will live this, as do I. A bargain at £25 as signed first editions are on eBay for £79. One to keep for the kids when they grow up and ask about Henry V.
