First I have to say that the Sharpe series gave me the love of history that I have now, which has just been made even more powerful by The Saxon stories. I live in Somerset so now spend the day’s out with my college group seeing Uhtred’s battles in the places I visit. But that is by the by, the reason I am contacting you is that I am sure I remember getting a Sharpe companion guide entitled ‘Sharpe – The making of’ Which included a story by Daragh O’Malley, about the first time Sean Bean got on a horse. I will not repeat the storey as it’s a bit long winded. Am I right in remembering this book? I hope I was not dreaming it as I remember enjoying it immensely. As I remember, it was a large hard back book (not A4) and was a sort of companion guide to the series. Hope this finds you in fine fettle. Jade
