Dear Mr. Cornwell, I started reading your Sharpe’s books several years ago and more recently have read the Arthur books and the Saxon Stories. My 12 year old son has struggled in reading and language arts in school when he was in elementary school. I convinced him to read the Saxon Stories, I told him it would be a challenge but I thought he would enjoy the story. Thanks to your books his reading ability sky rocketed. His test scores and grades improved significantly. This winter when the Burning Land was released I purchased the book and the two of us wrestled over who was going to read it first. Thank you for the wonderful stories. Sincerely, Jay Brodersen
