Dear Mr Cornwell, since discovering your books especially Agincourt and then the Grail Trilogy I have never been so engrossed in a series of books since Tolkien’s famous trilogy.I have read all the Saxon series and wait impatiently for the next book which I hope will not be the last of the tales of Uhtred, I feel I have grown up and older with him and your descriptions of saxon life, battles and hardships have sprung to life on your pages. Many many thanks for your supreme efforts and obvious research in the period, a magnificent achievement to be able to bring the ancient past to life. As an amateur though avid history buff I would love to hear about Uhtred’s Descendants coping with the Normans and even further along in the Crusades. Please live long and continue to write your brilliant novels. Highest regards, Terry Garland
