Dear Bernard, I finish now to read the last book of Uhtred published in Italy and as always I think that again your work is perfect. I read for the first time one of your book when I was 16teen, when a friend of mine make me know the story of Derfel. >From there and on that character and the others present in your books are became an inspiration for all of my RPG campaign :)I know is a funny things but now I am 30 and still i read your stories about Thomas and Uhtred. I like to read about old Britain and although I never seen England till now, when i read you books I can see those grasses and hills and the river and (with the help of WIKI) also Bebbanburg :) I love history and love like some authors can make live facts from ancient time. Like you sure! I would like to say thanks to you, for all the work you have done, and for all the feelings I have with your creations in my hands. Believe me if I said that my male cat is name Derfel :) and that in one role game my character named Thomas an English Archers as well! I hope to not bore you with my mail, I wait now with patience next chapter of the Saxon Saga. The day I will come in England i must stay a month because I want see many places named by you and also see the remain of that people like the Alfred’s Statue at Winchester maybe Bebbanburg, my boss at work will not be happy to stay without me so many time :) So thanks for read my mail, and for all My best regards Alberto Cabra
