Hello Mr. Cornwell. A while ago, I read every Sharpe book in chronological order – including the early years in India. That series gave me an insatiable appetite for anything Wellington, culminating with a trip to Apsley House and Sushi in Harrods! I have now just finished The Arthur Books, and am now cracking on with The Saxon Stories. So to my question: Is the style of the writing meant to be similar between the Arthur and Saxon series? There already seems to be a lot of similarities between the young Derfel and Uhtred. I suppose I’m hoping that The Saxon series will fill a small gap in information about what happened to Derfel and Ceinwyn between Arthur sailing off to Avalon and the old monk Derfel starting to write his account of Arthur for Queen Igraine. All we hear about is that Ceinwyn dies many years later of the fever… Anyway, I suppose I’ll find out when i get to the end of Sword Song! Thanks for your great historical novelling – Jonathan.
