Dear Mr Cornwell,

 

I have truly enjoyed so many of your books. The Sharpe and Starbuck series were both favourites with my whole family. You recent tales of Uhtred have not disappointed! My dad bought me the most recent for Christmas, unfortunately this was my first encounter with the series, so I have now gone right back to the Last Kingdom to start again.

I did very much enjoyed Uhtred’s encounter with Hywel Dda and I do hope he, or at least the Welsh make another appearance. While I was at Cardiff University I read the story of Gruffydd ap Cynan. I remember at the time thinking this would make a brilliant Cornwell series! I wonder, have you ever heard of Gruffydd? This is not a plea for you to start a new series based on Gruffydd (although if you do I will not complain) it was more to ask if you knew of him, and if not I think you’d enjoy reading about his life, Sigtrygg Silkbeard’s and Magnus Barefoot’s.

 

All the best,

 

Anthony
