Mr. Cornwell, I have just finished reading the Arthor books and found them to be some of the best books I have read. Being a Tolkien fan, I compare most books I read to his style of writing. I found that your books told a realistic story and the characters were well-developed with many attributes. I found that I related with the joys and sorrow of Derfel more than I have any character in any book I have read. Thank you for writing such excellent books. Mark Pogliano
