Hi Bernard hope this finds you well. Just thought I would drop you a quick line having just read Azincourt (a truly great read and the first book Ive read written by yourself) while on holiday having planned to stop to look at the battlefield and village on my way through to Normandy (visiting the D-Day beaches). I think Azincourt would make a great film if made along the lines of Gladiator, Gods Kingdom etc. I purchased Azincourt together with Sword Song and Sharpes Devil having noticed your name on the back of Simon Scarrows book the Gladiator which I bought having enjoyed reading his previous book Centurion which I picked up by chance at the airport on my way to Rome earlier this year. Ive now read the Sharpe book and am just finishing the Sword Song and about to purchase The Burning Land. Its a funny old world as I loved the Sharpe series on TV but had never read your books till now; I think you owe Simon a beer! By the way Bernard Two Tree Island wasnt an Island until the late 1800s when it was reclaimed from the sea&&. (Wink).. Cheers for now. Gary.
