Hello Mr Cornwell,

I hope this message finds you well.

About a year or so ago, I wrote to you regarding the representation of that most glorious county of Bedfordshire in your Last Kingdom novels.

Now I must say, wonderful though your most recent book, War of the Wolf, was, I couldn’t help but feel the lack of ‘Bedanfordscir’ was an oversight indeed! I trust Uhtred will at some point find himself back there one day? Perhaps he might even pass through a little village called ‘Weligtone’ (modern day Willington) near Bedford? Just a suggestion, you understand!

On a serious note, however, I must congratulate you for how brilliantly War of the Wolf turned out. It never ceases to amaze me that you can turn out such quality storytelling in such short spaces of time. Simply marvellous!

I, as ever, wait with bated breath for any and all of your work in the future.

Yours sincerely,

Kyle Barron (certainly not a proud denizen of Willington, Beds)
