Mr. Cornwell, I just have to send you a note to tell you how much I love the Sharpe Books! I had completed Patrick O’Brian’s Master and Commander series and was feeling as if I was in mourning. I was not aware of existence of the Sharpe Series until a few months ago when our local PBS station aired the last two of the Shape series and found the rest of the series available on netflix. When the credits state based on the Bernard Cornwell Sharpe series it is almost laughable. I believe the actors did their best with what the writers gave them to work with but…. enough said. I look forward to finish reading the series and picking up the rest of your books. I particularly enjoyed Trafalgar and Sharpe’s Devil. I would love to see Guy Richie put Sharpe’s Devil on film. Now wouldn’t that be a rousing good adventure?!! I just wanted to acknowledge what a great gift you have and thank you for the fantastic work you create. new fan, Wendy
