Dear Mr Cornwell, I have just finished reading Sharpes Christmas and would like to emplore you to write a full length version of the story as I found it to be excellent. Though I wouldnt want it to distract you from the next installment of the saxon stories I cant help feeling that sharpe is itching to be marching again to fight the french and everyone else for that matter, have a great new year and keep up the good work, Ben.
