Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am writing from New Zealand. I have just finished reading your latest novel “The Last Kingdom”. It has not arrived in NZ yet but my friend got it in Melbourne Australia recently. It is brilliant. Just the sort of story I like to read. You are my favourite author. My friend Jenny and I share our books and we prowl around secend hand book shops to find them as well as keeping a good look out for just published ones. Our favourites of all time are the Campion ones. Your wife put the finishing womanly touches to it, and they are a great read for your women readers. I must say I have found it harder to get into the Sharpe series, but loved Starbuck and Warlord Chronicles. I now wait impatiently for “The Pale Horseman”. Kindest Regards, Dot
