Mr. Cornwell, It was not until I finished my undergraduate degree (’89) that I began reading for pleasure. As I travel much, I often listen to books on tape, and have listened to hundreds of authors. Your books, however, I save to read from the hard copy, as it seems frivolous to just churn through one without savoring. I am sitting in my local library in Naperville, IL and just completed “Vagabond”. Another triumph! Thank you for creating a greater interest in history through your stories. It usually spurs me to go and do more research on the period and characters you reference. Regards, Bill
