Mr Cornwell – I’ve long been a fan of the Sharpe series, and then also a fan of the Grail series, so on receiving a book token for Xmas this year, I went to my local shop and lo and behold saw The Last Kingdom – and I’m now a great fan of Uhtred, and was overjoyed to see there is already a sequel available! Thank you very much from one very contented amateur historian and have a very happy new year!!! Ed Casey
