Dear Bernard,

I am very much looking forward to reading the next saga of Uhtred’s adventures and the formation of England.  The historian Michael Wood has just started a three part documentary on Alfred and his immediate successors. For readers of your book there are lots of familiar names.  I do not know if you have access to the BBC I Player in the States but the Programme is on BBC 4 at 9 pm (British Time) on Wednesday.  The only thing missing is Uhtred but I guess he would have a slightly different version of events..
