Dear Sir, I have just completed reading an old story of yours called “A Crowning Mercy” which I enjoyed, but I am curious to know why it does not appear in any of your book lists. I am slowly reading your Sharpe collection in the correct chronological order and I am now waiting for Sharpe’s Escape. May I congratulate you on a brilliant series and ask what you thought of the Television adaptations. Once again many thanks for all of the pleasure your books have given me. Regards Peter Hudson
