Hello Mr Cornwell, I have collected every book you have written and thoroughly enjoyed them all.  I would love to see the Arthur collection transformed into a movie or a mini series like the Sharpe books.  For me your description of Arthur and the time in which he lived is the most realistic and believable I have ever read.  I think there was an Arthur character and that he was not king because as you say in the books he who commands the spears has the real power.  Please excuse my typing as I am just being trained up by my 13 year old son!  I look forward to every new book that you write.  The story of Arthur has been done so many times but I think after the success of the Sharpe novels/series your retelling of the legend of Arthur and the heroic and loyal Derfel would be a breath of fresh air and put some of these limp (for want of a better word) versions to shame.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.
