<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Arthur Conan Doyle]] did himself some archery in the 1920s. But very earlier he wrote a lot about English archers in [[The White Company]] (1891) and [[Sir Nigel]] (1905) where Samkin Aylward, a gallant archer, is one of the main characters. <br />

* « ''I set myself to reconstruct the archer, who has always seemed to me to be the most striking figure in English history. [..] The archers must have been extraordinary fellows.'' » ([[A Day with Dr. Conan Doyle]], 1892)<br />
<br />
* « ''My system before writing such a book as "Sir Nigel" or "The Refugees" was to read everything I could get about the age and to copy out into notebooks all that seemed distinctive. I would then cross-index this material by dividing it under the heads of the various types of character. Thus under Archer I would put all archery lore, and also what oaths an archer might use, where he might have been, what wars, etc., so as to make atmosphere in his talk.'' » ([[How I Write My Books]], 1924) <br />
