Dear Mr. Cornwell, I came late to reading any of your books. I rather thought, from afar, that Sharpe was rather kids stuff. I have now read some of Sharpe’s exploits and a few of your other books and am now quite happy to be considered a ‘kid’. Am currently reading Sharpe’s Eagle, picked it up in a place called Belfast. A place I left over fifty years ago but one to which I return whenever I can. Many thanks for many hours of more than enjoyable reading. Regards, David Gough
