: Dear Mr. Cornwell sounds a very formal way to address a man who has in a way accompanied me to bed, in book form for so long, but I don’t know how else to address the creator of my heroes. I read the Warlord Trilogy and fell in love with Derfel Cadarn, but then read the stories of Uhtred of Bebbanburgh and my affections changed. I have just finished Sword Song and wait impatiently to see how Uhtreds’ life carries on after this. I have never written a fan mail letter before, but wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed these books. They have been fantastic. Maybe I should give Sharpe a try now. But thank you again for all the pleasure you have given me. Chris Holliday
