Dear Mr Cornwell, I’ve just finished reading Sharpe’s Fury – a wonderful story and more than up to your usual high standard. I write to you as I am unable to find a contact point within HarperCollins. There is a lamentable mistake in the book, where Level, spelt as such throughout the text is Laval in Laval’s Division in the second map. As a writer myself those sort of things drive me to distraction, especially when you rely on someone else to execute part of the work. It does not detract at all from the fine story – I just thought you might like to berate someone you don’t like at the publishers with the information and get it corrected for the next edition! With very best wishes, David Varnam
