Dear Mr Cornwall I am a great fan of yours, apart (I must in the minority) from the Sharpe novels. I have just read The Last Kingdom which I could not put down and when the paperback edition of The Pale Horseman is on the shelves it will be added to my collection (I have no room in my study for any more hardbacks).However I did find The Last Kingdom hard going in one respect, I had to keep referring to the front to get the locations, perhaps it would have been better to have done this the other way around.I don’t know how you manage to consistently write such good books.
