Dear Mr Cornwell I am an avid reader but have never taken much interest in novels because I thought I couldn’t learn much from reading them. In desperation for something to read a few months ago I picked up a copy of The Winter King to read on a journey. I couldn’t put it down, finished the trilogy in a couple of weeks, progressed to the Grail Quest trilogy and have just finished Gollows Thief and Stonehenge. I received my copies of The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman this morning. What a delight to find that a 3rd in that series is also due. Not only are they gripping stories but I feel that I am learning history and get a real feeling of what it was like to live in the past with customs, religion, living conditions, etc. so well integrated with the stories. Please keep them coming. Dr Alec James Glasgow, Scotland
