Dear Bernard.

Just re-read 1356 for about the third time since receiving it for Christmas, you have done it again! Absolutely stunning, love the way some old familiar characters cropped up, a little known period in my historical knowledge has been opened up. Must go, something has been on TV regarding Waterloo, so I’m back with Richard Sharpe re-reading what must be the finest fictional account of the battle. As Churchill used to say ‘KBO’, roll on the next Uhtred.

Many thanks from Bulgaria.

Roy
