Dear Mr Cornwell I have just finished reading Harlequin and will certainly buy Vagabond and Heretic. As with ‘The Winter King’ trilogy I found the characters and the story line absolutely compelling and therefor feel I must thank you for writing such inspirational novels. I even want to take up archery now! Thomas of Hookton is a truely believable heroic character, like Derfel, and I find my self reading into the small hours to see how they progress. The atmosphere of elation and horror you depict in your battle scenes is spot on and I almost want to shout “St George” myself as the English attack! I know I will re-read these books many times over. Thanks again and Kind regards. Richard Jones
