Hello Mr Cornwell, the first book I have read of yours was the Last Kingdom, and this was how I became a fan of yours. Yes, I am book reader, hard or soft cover. I am now reading Agincourt and the character Hook, allows the reader to see a day in the life of medieval soldiers. Have just finished reading the Saxon series although not in order. Following the life of Uhtred brought me so close, I felt like I was actually in the book and part of the story. Wonderful reading for history buffs like myself. I find this series fascinating and makes me think of genealogy. My family hails from the Scandinavian countries, when I started reading this series, I couldn’t help but wonder about my own family line, even though it has been impossible to trace back that far, it is still interesting to think of them in these fierce battles you portray in your books. wonderful reading and educational too. keep it up.
