Mr. Cornwell, I have just finished rereading the Saxon Stories for the third time, and think that it is the best series of books I have ever read. The first page of the Last Kingdom hooked me on the entire series, “The law wants compromise. The law thinks that money will compensate for loss. The law above all fears the blood feud, but I am Uhtred son of Uhtred, and this is the tale of a blood feud. It is the tale of how I will take from my enemy what the law says is mine. It is also the tale of a women, and her father, a king. He was my king and all that I have I owe to him. The food that I eat, the hall where I live, and the sword of my men all came from Alfred my king, who hated me.” I mean that’s the best introduction I’ve ever read.

I have also been wondering on whether or not you have been approached to have the Saxon Stories made into a movie. If you have though would you please try and have the movie made by someone who is committed to having everything that happens in the book happen in the movie like the Lord of the Rings series. Because most of the time when books are made into movies the movies end up being terrible. For example Harry Potter, awesome books, movies were pretty awful though. So just let me know as soon as you can.
