Dear Bernard In your Sharpe novels the one battle Sharpe missed was Corunna I was wondering if you had ever considered writing a one off story on that battle with a different character other than Sharpe since it was the Dunkirk of the Napoleonic wars and its a shame (from a readers standpoint) that you missed it?

And to really stir the pot How about Dulong from the french perspective? He is one character that does deserve more page time.

And you have said after Azincourt that the next book will be a Uhtred book. Will he being going up north to give his brother in law Guhtred a hand against the Scots invasion of his kingdom. I hope you don’t mind me saying but for a man whose castle he wants to reclaim is in the north he spends far to much time in the south.

Finally will you be doing any touring in the Northwest for Azincourt? yours sincerely, Tony

P.S You have probably already read it but if not I can recommend John Gallaher’s The Iron Marshal Louis Davout on who was arguably Napoleons greatest marshal.He and Wellington would have been an interesting battle.
