Kemp: The Road to Crécy

Written by Daniel Hall

Narrated by Jack Michael Stacey

When Martin Kemp joins the English army in order to avoid the hangman, he may just be delaying the inevitable. While he remains hopeful that at least there's the chance for some heroics, the reality is very different. Kemp's war is instead a terrifying odyssey through the panic and confusion of his first battle, the brutal realities of siege warfare, and eventually to the field of Crécy, where he faces the armoured might of the French nobility. But as an elite longbowman, when it comes to winning or losing, he could have a vital - though dangerous - part to play.

Daniel Hall

The eldest child of Freeman Hall Jr. and Addie B. Johnson was born in Mansfi eld, La. in a three room shotgun house. Raised by his mother and Grandmother during his formative years (until age 10) he led a very sheltered and protected life. He remembers seeing his father once a year each summer as his father returned from Los Angeles to visit family and friends. In 1965 at the age of ten he boarded a Greyhound Bus and began a journey that has never really ended to this day. The decision to leave the security and safety of Mansfi eld and his mother to live with his father would forever have a profound impact on his life and the lives of those that he touched.
