Mr. Cornwell, My father and I are avid fans of your novels. We have read almost all of your novels, and loved them. I have a history degree, which explains my passion for your novels. I wish to be a writer, and your style has inspired me, although I am a big fan of fantasy, so I’m looking at historical fantasy right now. I just wanted to say that I am a scout leader in the Province of Quebec, and came back from summer camp with the kids. Every evening I told them some Sharpe stories (Havoc and Eagle), and the kids absolutely loved them. The fact that it is in Quebec is important. Being a bunch of French Canadians, we usually tend to favor the French MUCH more than the English (I don’t count, I’m something of an anglophile). The kids still kept on asking me ‘are you gonna continue Sharpes stories tonight?’. One kid even threatened a revolution if I stopped. I was going to tell the Arthur story at first, disguising myself as Derfel and using props. But during spring camp, the kids asked for a story, and I told them about Sharpe. That was it. Thank you for the work you do. Jean-François Gagné
