“Paladin deeds crowd one on another in this story. The plot is highly colored, and concerns principally three deeds which Nigel swears to perform before he will return from Brittany to claim the Lady Mary Buttesthorn. Forced marches and the taking of robbers’ castles, and joustings for love of fighting, and real battles for the king, all befall on the way. How young Nigel captured ‘The Red Ferret’ and took the castle of La Brohiniere, and finally at the battle of Poitiers took prisoner King John II. of France, thus accomplishing his vows, and how he was knighted by the ‘Black Prince’ and sent home to get married is clearly and graphically told in this book.”—N. Y. Times.
