Mr Cornwell, thank goodness I have found your e mail address. I have read all the Sharpe books , but now I have found out due to this web site that I have 4 more to read ( thanks). With your unique way with words I get totally immersed in the action. I was born in Bosham Sussex in 1938 and spent my childhood in Bosham harbour. Your vivid description of the mud, tides, smell, reeds, was bang on, infact looking back it’s lucky some of us boys were not drowned . I am now reading your terrific Grail series , well done Mr Cornwell and thank you for countless hours of great entertainment. Barry Parker
