Mr Cornwell, I have purchased every book you have published in Australia and by way of feedback I wish to state clearly that you have brought me more enjoyment than any other author in any similar genre. I am 38 years old and have been reading your novels for over 15 years. Now I read some of your books to my boys as a rollicking, swashbuckiling bed time read and they love them, and look forward to the nights when I pull out Richard Sharpe or Starbuck 30 minutes before bedtime. So now you are bringing joy to 2 generations!!! That, I suppose, is the mark of a great artist, which you most certainly are. Thank you and God bless Jon Winsbury Melbourne, Australia
