Good evening Mr Cornwell,

Just want to say thank you for all the many hours I have enjoyed reading/listening your books. You really helped ignite a strong desire to consume as much English history as possible. I really appreciated your forwards in Michael Livingston’s recent books as well.

Very Respectfully,

Ryan

Just wanted to let you know I just finished "Uhtred's Feast". Recently I had my DNA tested and I had 23% Scotch/Irish/English. Then I found out there was 13% Scandinavian blood. I was floored, but now I know where that came from... After reading your books and watching the Netflix series, it was enough to make my (possibly) 13% Viking blood very proud. Thank you.

-Carol Jensen

p.s. - I love your "Sharpe" series.


Q

Greeting Mr. Cornwell,

I hope this email finds you well.

The purpose of this email is to say that I enjoy reading your book. So far, I've only read Sharpe's escape but nevertheless, I enjoyed the read. I hope you are blessed with good health and prosperity.

Dear Bernard,

I would just like to express my deep gratitude for the inspiration your books have given me over the years. Not only have I enjoyed them, but because they are my favourite books ever, I have tried to learn how to write from them. My own first historical novel was published the day before yesterday and although it is set in the Hittite Empire, over the hills and far away from your settings, it would not have been possible without your example. I'd send you a copy, but unfortunately it's only available in German.

 

All the best for you

Sebastian

Best of luck with your book!

I thought I would drop a line to say: I like your books.  I listened to the audiobook versions of much of the Sharpe series while feeding a new baby overnight right after she was born.  It is awfully annoying to have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed a baby a bottle--unless you get to plug in the headphones and disappear off to Portugal or Spain while rocking the child back to sleep.  I really enjoyed them, so thank you for writing them; it is a great accomplishment to have written so many, with the quality so high.

Hello Mr. Cornwell,

I wanted to write after reading your wonderful series The Grail Quest. I was absolutely captivated from the first page of Harlequin; I read Harlequin and Vagabond in 3 days, and had to stop myself at first from devouring the remaining two stories too quickly. I am not much for writing letters, but I can say that the series has affirmed for me that nothing is better than a good book. In this case, several great books. I can only hope that in the future, somehow, some untold story remains of these loved characters.

I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits for the coming holidays. Thank you for your work, I am planning a trip to my local bookshop to get all I can find.

Sincerely,

Connor Campbell

Thanks for Sharpe. I’ve listened to all twice, At 74 I’m reminded of my dad who would watch an episode of tv series Mash on Monday, laugh out loud; watch same episode on different channel Friday and laugh just as hard. Only great thing of memory loss with age is no repeats.

Each time I listen to Sharpe I’m surprised and impressed with the marvelous texture.

Again, thanks

I just found your book and loved it. Sharpe's Rifles took me into battle from the first sentence. Thank you!

Hi Bernard

 

I just wanted to say a brief thank you.

 

I read the book by Marc Morris on the Anglo-Saxons, and was interested to dive deeper. I wondered anything in historical fiction would compliment my understanding of our forefathers. Then I luckiky discovered your Saxon series.

 

I am hooked. Although I'm only at the end of 'The Lords of the North' with the first 6 books purchased in a bundle so far, I will be purchasing the rest, and reading the whole series with pleasure.

 

Thank you kindly

I hope this email finds you well. I'm just about to finish The Warlord Chronicles.  I've enjoyed your work so much I felt the need to reach out. You are a master story teller, absolutely brilliant. The world youve created in this series is incredible. I've also just purchased the first 6 books in the last kingdom series. I'm looking forward to reading and adding every book you've written to my home library. I know you have been writing for quite some time, but I just discovered you. You have an incredibly gift, thank you for sharing it with the world!

 

Regards,
