Dear Mr. Cornwell, thank you for responding to my e-mail of Jan. 11, 2009! Just wanted you to know I owned 20 out of the 21 Sharpe books and had read them multiple times before I ever saw any of the TV collection. So, while I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the videos and DVD’s, the books were, and still are, my favorites because of their greater depth. (Movies can never completely cover the content of the books, and stories seem to get changed, condensed to save time/ money, etc.) I am looking forward to your 5th “Uhtred” book, more Sharpe and Harper books, other books you will write, and would be entirely delighted and shocked if you were ever at an event where we were fifing and/or shooting our muskets! ( we’re always in NYC’s Tartan Day parade in April….) Sincerely, Karen K.
