Dear Bernard, This is simple fan mail and I suspect you must be overwhelmed by similar missives but I just felt moved to write. For some odd reason I’ve never read any of your books despite a lifelong love of history and historical novels. I bought Azincourt at the airport prior to a short holiday. Wow ! Best ripping yarn I’ve read for many years. I have a test for books; If you can smell where you are supposed to be then its a good one. Azincourt stank from the first page right to the end. Heroes with human flaws and a great story well told. Thank you. yours sincerely Jonathan Owen
