I have just now, for the fourth (?) time, completed the Warlord Chronicles. In many readings, the story has never lost one iota of its realness. it makes a history clouded by fanciful nonsense tangible, authentic, and I cannot thank you enough for bringing a legend I already loved alive in a way unlike any other. I have also read Stonehenge, the Sharpe series (most of them, at least!), and I am quite excited about Azincourt, another period of history that fascinates me. However, the Warlord series appeals not just to my personal love of Arthurian legend, but also to my professional training as an anthropologist. Although there is obviously a separation between your work and the “real,” your ability to give life to everyday things gives me a fictional, but fantastic, view into pasts I only wish I could have witnessed. When I think of Arthur, and of the movies that have been made, and the thousands of words bandied back and forth by scholars, your work may be fictional, but i think you have the right idea. Thank you so very much for your work. Trust that your efforts do not fall on deaf ears. Cheers! Jonathan Brown
