Hi Bernard,

I’ve enjoyed your books for many years now and I hope for many yet to come (by the way, when will Sharpe march again or has he hung up his Baker for good?)….thanks for the many hours of pleasure they have brought to all your readers!

One thing that I have always wondered about and perhaps, as a person keenly interested in history, you have too. It is a little twist on the three wishes theme…..if you were ever given the opportunity to observe (not particiapte in) any three events in history, what would they be?

As a former soldier, I have always thought the last thing I would want to watch is a battle where brave souls meet their end or are maimed for life, but of course, they still hold a somewhat morbid fascination! However, steering away from the likes of Agincourt, Trafalgar, Issus and so on , I think for me, it would be watching what the original use was for Stonehenge, the Gettysburg Address and finally, seeing how the Mutiny on the Bounty really went down!. What events would you like to have the chance to see?

Cheers and keep them coming!!
