This sounds a bit lame but your Sharpe books have always been a great source of comfort to me in times where there wasn’t really a lot else to turn to so I just had to say thank you for creating such a readable and vivid series of books. Shame I can never convince the wife to watch the tv series! I read my dad’s copy of Rifles/Eagle that were in one big book when I was ten and now at twenty two I finally have them all. All were fantastic (except Revenge which dragged on a bit)and I have gone on to discover more about Wellington’s army from further reading. Hated reading at school so thanks for getting me into something that I can learn from and enjoy at the same time. Thank you again. Adam (Evesham, England)
