Hi Bernard I’ve only recently been introduced to your work when I was lent a copy of Azincourt. Although I was quite familiar with the story of the battle, this really made it much more tangible. You clearly do your homework before setting it down don’t you? I read somewhere that there have been discussions about making a film of it, is that a likely prospect? Would you like that to happen?

I’m slowly working through the Saxon stories now, only one more to go and then the new one next month. One thing I’ve learned from these was about the battle in Reading in 871, I lived there for the first 24 years of my life and I had no idea it had ever happened. There seems to be little detail available about exactly where this took place and I’d love to find out more. All the best, and much appreciation. Chris
