Dear Mr. Cornwell, Just this past weekend in searching for a good book to read I saw your new book “The Last Kingdom”. After reading a little about the book I opted not to read that one (don’t worry, this isn’t bad!). The reason being that I had just finished a book by another author that took place in the same time period. But the book still caught my interest, so I looked for other books by you and ran across “Stonehenge”. Which I purchased on Friday, began reading on Sunday and finished on Tuesday…couldn’t put it down. I loved the book. I will be reading “The Last Kingdom” next…and most likely the Arthur & Grail books following. I had passed those up as well due to having just seen the recent movie on Arthur and having read Blake and Lloyds “Pendragon”. Your other books sound interesting as well, but I tend to go in phases where I read a certain type of novel. Lately it has been anything from Renaissance to ancient history. Before that American Westerns. Being a writer I don’t know how much time you have to read, but I have two books that I would recommend. The first would be the one that I just finished that takes place at the same time as “The Last Kingdom”. It is “Ceridwen of Kilton” by Octavia Randolph. Not a popular author, but a great read. Someone who did their research on the time-period. She has another that she wrote that leads up to this one but is not actually published in book form, but is on her website in full. Copyrighted, but not sure how that sits with your whole legal stuff..?? The second would be Louis L’Amour’s “The Walking Drum”. L’Amour is usually noted as a author of American Westerns, but he has a handful or so that are not. This would be one of them. Anyway, I shall leave my email at that (I tend to be long winded). Best of luck on the success of “The Last Kingdom”, and I look forward to reading it. Sincerely, Sean P. Holt Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, U.S. P.S.: I do apologize for any american slang that I may have used that you may or may not have understood!
