Dear Mr Cornwell, I have read and very much enjoyed your Arthur and Saxon books. I generally feel you handle the competing religions of the periods accurately, however in terms of plot why isnt there more balance between the effectiveness of paganism and Christianity? For example, you have quite noted examples of pagan spells curing the sick such Alfreds son and Derfels partner but there are few if any examples of Christian miracles. All I can think of is Bishop Emrys praying for the rain to stop and it does! I accept there were many rotten Christians around during these times however Christian miracles did happen or at least there is a much evidence for them as anything pagan. All I ask is that you give some consideration to this as you write the next Uhtred. Sorry, instead of a question this must seem more like a moan. It is not meant to be. I am a big fan Your Starbuck Chronicles are on my Christmas list! Peter
