Dear Mr Cornwell I was wondering if you would ever consider having your Arthurian series made into a film seeing how good the Lord of the Rings was because after reading your Warlord chronicles for the second time it is now my lifetime ambition to direct and make them because they were the best books I have ever read and I now thirst for any book involving Arthur. Jack Bullen

Dear Bernard: No other author I have ever read has had me so engrossed in or so utterly delighted by his or her works, or indeed so eager to see what’s coming. You deserve to be knighted for your services to storytelling. The Warlord Chronicles, Grail Quest (and Alfred The Great later on) series are surely already overdue for being translated to the big screen? You’re a good man for bringing so much joy to so many. Here’s to many more Cornwell works! Very best regards, Mike Taylor, Burton upon Trent
