Dear Mr Cornwell, Thank you for the hours of reading pleasure that you have given me. With the exception of the Sharpe series, which I shall begin very soon, I have read and in some cases re-read, everything you have written. My all time favorite is the Arthur trilogy which I have pored over about seven or eight times. As an historical ficton enthusiast I commend you for the depth and imagination of your research which enlivens the characters and settings in a uniquely Cornwellian way. I’m enjoying “The Last Kingdom” as we speak, and it doesn’t disappoint. Keep them coming and thanks again. Sincerely Mick Fowler (English, living in LA, sound mixer on “CSI”)
