Mr. Cornwell, I stumbled across The Winter King in an airport bookshop while waiting for a delayed flight in Singapore. The cover (UK) design grabbed me at first, followed by the fact that it was an Arthur tale (one of my most favorite subjects). I have gone on to devour all of the Arthur books (each of which has been re-read a dozen times at least and now look a little worse for wear), Stonehenge, The Grail Quest and have just completed The Last Kingdom (looking forward to Pale Horseman). I don’t have a question to ask, simply wanted to say “Thankyou” for so many wonderful, compelling, exciting and riveting tales. The Arthur Books are my favorites. It is lamentable that the legend (or the reality, who knows ?) ended where it did. I would have rejoiced in more books in that particular series. Alas, so complete was your story there was no possibility of more. Happily I immediately found Stonehenge, followed by the Grail Quest books to salve my disappointment. I even based my 2002 UK trip on locations mentioned in the Arthur books (possibly going a little far, but it was a great trip !) I hope that one day, the Arthur books make it to film and are given treatment similar to the Lord of the Rings (Jackson’s finished King Kong, maybe now he has time ? Why don’t you send him a set of the Arthur books ?) But seriously, my sincere thanks for many many hours of absorbing and entertaining reading. If you ever come out to Australia, I’ll be the one with a sack full of books for signing. Bob Orlando
