Well Mr Cornwell, I almost don’t know what to say! The first book I read of yours was Stonehenge, one of my most favoured places to reflect and relax. I loved it to say the least. I am now reading The Saxon Stories with almost ocd obsession! I find everything that you have written that I have read has touched me in a way that is very personal to me. Stonehenge has always mystified me and I go there a few times a year to take in its history and ambience, and I always delight in taking someone there that hasn’t been. I have always lived in the south east (England of course!) but I have some nordic ancestors so Uhtred’s loyalty to both sides is familiar and endearing to me. I also am fascinated by this particular period in English history. Although I am quite sure you are in fact not writing these books specifically for me, with all this in mind I just have to tell you…… I love your books!! I am in fact, I think, falling a bit in love with Uhtred! So, please keep up the good work, and thank you for giving me such a thrilling read. Your most obsessional fan, Natalie.
