Dear Mr. Cornwell, I recently finished reading your Sharpe series starting with Sharpe's Tiger and all the way through Sharpe's Devil. A friend was reading them and got me started. As scandalous as it may seem, my local library didn't have a single one, but oh, the joys of interlibrary loan. As I finished each book I went on-line and requested the next one, so it took me from last June until March to read them all. I read other things while waiting for each loan to come through and found that I had to be very disciplined to make myself finish what I had started before cracking open Richard Sharpe's next adventure. Now that I have finished them, I am feeling quite bereft. My friend and I will look forward to the further adventures of Sharpe and in the meantime, I'm sure I can find something to read. Thank you for providing so many hours of reading enjoyment. I particularly liked the historical notes at the end of each book as I am always curious as to what really happened. It was like a little piece of something sweet at the end of a good meal. Eileen Grah

Hi, Mr Cornwell. I'm a Brazilian man that discovered your books with my father, that is a great reader. I'm sorry about my poor english, but I need to write you to thank you for your books about Arthur. I really never had read a history like that. You have described Arthur exactly as I have been imagining. So... one more time. Thanks for you beautiful work. Carlos Eduardo de Lima Joaquim

Mr. Cornwell I have read many of your books and just finished the Arthur trilogy. I must say they are among the best books Ive ever read. The characters were so vivid, I felt like I knew them. I was moved to tears at many points of the story . Anyway keep up the awesome writing, I look forward to your next book (loved The Last Kingdom). Michael

Just a short note to say how much I enjoy your books. The Grail Quest was wonderful and now I am in the final book of the Arthur series. I've read nearly all of the Sharpe books and it is a comfort to know there are many more to read. Well done, Mr. Cornwell, and many thanks. Dwight Tichenor

Beautiful work and a beautiful and informative internet site. Lee Mueller

Dear Mr. Cornwell: With regard to Geraint's question in his May 2nd posting, there are no books about the 95th Rifles role in the War of 1812 because they only caught the very tail end of it, the New Orleans Campaign, which was over in only two weeks, and was a total waste of time, as the peace had already been signed in Ghent. Any good history of the battle (try Robert Remini's "The Battle of New Orleans") should tell Geraint all there is to tell about the Rifles' role in it. Also, of course, there is Mark Urban's "Rifles," which might contain some information. Alan Kempner

I can't say I saw it coming. I'm a slow reader and can count the number of books I've read for pleasure on one hand. I listened to the "Archers Tale" on cassette during my mind numbing commute. Now I've got the text of the Grail Quest and I'm scorching through it. Thank you Thank you. Joe N

Mr. Cornwell, Words are not adequate to express the enjoyment I have had reading your books. I have read just about all of your books and I eagerly await until "The Last Kingdom" series has a book 2. Gregory Fuentes

Can we have more in the vein of Stonehenge and some more of Thomas of Hookton - great tales. Joe Mitchell

I'm a truckdriver and I got to listening to your Sharpe's books. I enjoyed them so much that when I learned that they had been turned into a series of movies I had my wife buy them for me. I was totally distraught on how the movies were done. They don't follow Sharpe by your book standard. I feel they did your work unjustice in a large way. I still have not been able to hear Sharpe's Eagle. Please keep up the good writing. Sincerely, Darin Finch
