Hi, I have never sent an author my thanks for a book so now I am doing so for 4 books. The Saxon stories are the best set of Historical novels I have read and I was absorbed from the start. The setting of the Sword Song was of a particular interest as I was brought up and lived near Benfleet. The way you described the landscape of the Essex coast and Canvey island was spot on. Again, many thanks Nic Mills Historian (no longer of Essex)
