Mr. Cornwell,
I love your books, as do all that send you these notes. The Arthur Chronicles hold a special place for me. I’ve read just about every series there is on Arthur. Your’s is epic. Even when you know a story has to end with the deaths of so many characters you have come to love, you still brought out an amazing amount of emotion in me. I’ve read that Dumas’ son walked in on him weeping and he told his son it was because he had just killed Porthos. I don’t know if this story is true, but I like to believe it. I wanted to ask you how it felt to you when you wrote the end of the story? The image of Derfel setting food out for the spirits after being there for so many deaths is haunting. Thank you for giving us your stories.
