Dear Bernard, I started reading ‘The Winter King’ a few days ago after having put it off for a long time. I didn’t really fancy another ‘Arthur and Merlin’ tale. But the comments on this site persuaded me to give it a go. Can I just say how pleased I am that I did. Absolutely superb, brilliant and all the other adjectives you can think of. I particularly love the way you have portrayed Lancelot. Just as how I would have imagined (if I had an imagination as wonderfull as yours that is). I always thought there was something dodgy about him. Thank you again. Ed
