Dear Mr Cornwell
You stand alone as an author for me. I have all of the Uhtred & Nick Hook books as well as the ones on Azincourt & Stonehenge but my favourites by far are the Warlord Trilogy. In your personal opinion do you think that Arthur existed? If so which location would you most associate with him? My choice would be Glastonbury but of course there are many others. Thankyou.

It is wonderful to write to you, a great writer, which made me completely in love with his books. Admit it is a little scary, and I wonder if I’m putting the right words, or my translation into English will be good enough. With what little I know of English, will not be enough to express everything I feel for your books, which is a little disheartening. Well, not hurt to try: I live in Brazil, I’m 15 years old, have not seen much of life, but I know what I want, what I think it’s right or wrong, and simply what I like. You may think it strange that I speak, but many people find it funny how I love the story. And that’s what made me so passionate about your books, specifically, “The Chronicles of Arthur.” Amazing how I could get so fascinated by these books, and 1300 pages (average number of pages in Portuguese) became such a fan of Derfel Cadarn. And that’s about it I’ve been bothering you today. This man, you have categorized so majestic and loyal in the book, really
existed? There are indications of his passage on earth, from your research? He and his wife, Princess Ceinwyn of Powys? There are many other questions in mind, but I guess I should not ask them, and leaves them all in mind, awaiting the day when I can study personally and realize my dream to see the world and all the history. Until that not day comes, I hope your answer. Thank you for writing, and satiate my hunger for history, that’s all I have, I hope one day I can travel the world and know everything that is possible.
Love, Victória
ps: Now it is not possible I buy your other books, Saxon Stories and Sharpe books, but when possible, I really will. And if you ever come to Brazil, I hope to meet you to autograph my book!
