Dear Bernard, You may remember me as a reviewer on the Oxford Times some years ago. I have now retired and am living in Lancashire – much more attractive countryside and real Sharpe country. I just wanted to thank you for the Pale Horseman and its predecessor. Another great series. Your research is as good as ever. Many thanks for your efforts – they are really appreciated both by myself and my son in law who is a Sharpe fanatic. Regards, Dave Hall PS: Have a great Christmas.
