Dear Mr. Cornwell,

A couple of years ago I found a copy of Gallows Thief in a local bookstore. Here in Brazil it was translated as "The Condemned". I was looking for something nice to read and I am really glad I gave it a shot - that was a nice book. Then I looked into Arthur's books and those really blew me away! I especially loved the second book and how you portrayed the personalities of Merlin and Lancelot. Derfel was a fantastic main character, although but I feel bad about the sad and lonely way his life ended in the story. Maybe someday we'll get to see this trilogy as a blockbuster movie franchise? I sincerely hope so.

Anyway, I just wanted to express how much I appreciated these books - you did a formidable job there, sir. Looking forward to starting the Grail Quest soon!

Mr Cornwell,

I can't thank you enough for the Saxon Tales and the Sharpe's series.  Reading a book is one of my deepest enjoyments.  I have been in war in airplanes and on the ground-got shot down 3 times.  I know what it feels like to be hunted by the enemy.  The feel of your books is right for me.  I smell them, hear them, and feel them.  I feel being soaked to the bone with cold rain and mud.  For some reason the books con't bring horror back to me but a sense of belonging.  They feel right.

Now I'm working on getting my Dad to read the Sharpe's.  And I look forward to the next Saxon book.

Bloody good writing and story telling!!!!

Hi, Mr Cornwell,

just a note to say that I did not know you did Viking type stories and only knew of the Sharpe books,and of course love that tv series...When the last kingdom was about to be aired last year, my best friend Eddie,(who has personally met you in person a few times as he loves all your work especially all things waterloo/sharpe)..he had already read all the warrior books,,so I bought the whole series and have just finished 'Warriors of the Storm' and to my delight ,Eddie has told me your on with the tenth book..hence this email....The Flame Bearer.. I cannot wait and hope there are more after that...Mind you Uhtred is getting on a bit,but his sons are an interesting arc to follow.I live in York (eforwic/Jorvik) and love the way your books bring out all the old names of Englands Citys..when ever I visit places now related to The Last Kingdom books. I get a chill...lol..yeah I know its fiction..but bloody great fiction at that..thank you for an amazing read.

Dear Mr Cornwell,

I would like to tell you, how much I love your art. The " Uthred Saga" impressed me deeply and I cannot stop reading it.

I bought the last book, and as always again, I am inable to put the book aside.

I love it. Please let Uthred live and let him get back his beloved Bebbanburg, Bebbancastle.

Thank you so much for all the happiness and excitement I can enjoy with your books .

( sorry my English is not perfect)!

 

Bettina, a German woman, who lives in France. Thank you so much, the greatest Uthred fan am I.

Just finished Warriors of the Storm. You just get better and better. Wow!

I would just like to say how lucky I was to come across the novels that you have written. I am pushing forty years old and for many years I considered myself to busy to read. Work, children- you know the story. I had gotten so tired of listening to music on the radio while I drive, so while I was gassing up the car at a truck stop in Georgetown Ky, I noticed the audiobook selection. I was not familiar with the books that were there so I based my decision on the cover. This lead me to The Pagan Lord. That was two years ago and I haven't stopped listening to audiobooks or reading books since. I am on my second trip through the Uhtred saga (after Warriors of the Storm I had to back and the read them all again) I have read quite a few of your other books and a lot of other authors as well. So I would like to say thank you for renewing my interest in reading and long live Uhtred- he needs Bebbanburg!!!!!!

Dear sir,

I would like to express my most sincere gratitude for all the novels you have written you are by far (in my humble opinion) the finest author of our time.

I have especially enjoyed the life and adventures of Derfel and can only hope the Arthurian series can be televised.

Thank you once again I love your books and I know that your future pieces will be of equal if not better quality and I look forward to reading them.

Found Your first book in January this year. Since then I read almost continuously through a whole string of series including the Arthur, Saxon, Sharpe and American Civil War series. In all of these I have been rewarded with the historical  education you provide.   However, the most astonishing feature of your work is he continuing thread of religion that I found. It has gone from convincing speculation it in the era  of Stonehenge to the surprising inclusion of Scripture and very sound Doctrinal perspectives in other places--such as the Athanasian creed.   As an old (85) retired naval officer who came up from the ranks as a Seaman recruit, I have appreciated the parallel advancement of Sharp.

Keep up the good work. I look forward to further developments.  Thanks again.
