Mr. Cornwell –

I have been an avid reader of yours for years now, since The Archer’s Tale hit the shelves. So, upon discovering the Thomas was again to be featured in 1356, naturally I picked it up.

I also happen to be a Stephen King fan, or more specifically a Gunslinger/Dark Tower fan.

My question to you is, and this is just to satisfy my own curiosity, in 1356 chapter 6 last line, ‘Roland to the dark tower came,’ is this a Browning reference, as I assume it is, or might you also happen to be a Dark Tower reader?

Thank you for your time!
