Mr. Cornwell,

I picked up “The Last Kingdom” while I was out on a date with my wife. Within moments of opening the book I became enthralled with Uhtred’s journey. I am very impressed at how quickly you have been able to turn out the Saxon Series. My wife and I are always waiting for the next book as we finish each one in 1-3 days. The Saxon Series has inspired me to delve deeper into British/Scandinavian history and myths, which I have found to be very rewarding.

I am a current college student at the University of Guam, and I am writing a paper to encourage the inclusion of the Saxon Series in our literature program. The series includes an immense amount of historical facts, and may make history more palatable for those who do not usually enjoy reading actual historical accounts. What are your thoughts about the Saxon Series possibly being included in a course on British literature? I would also like to ask, as a fan and not a student, which book/series you enjoyed working most on, and if there are other works, which you found to be intriguing and would recommend.

Thank you for your time,

Aaron Pier
