Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am writing to thank you for your exciting and fun books about Sharpe. I am a former lawyer now housewife/stay at home Mom of two small boys. My Dad started me on the Sharpe series and I am almost through the whole collection. I have to space the books out over time because I find myself letting the kids watch more T.V. just so I can finish a couple more chapters. thanks again for the wonderful books, I would have never suspected that I would enjoy a series based upon the Napoleonic wars. I guess my Father knew best. Best Regards, Denise
