Dear Sir,

may I write you to express my great pleasure in reading your novels. I believe to own all of them, obviously those edited in Italy and also those which, for understandable reasons, have not been edited in my country. Seldom it happened to me to read fantasy stories, as the one of Sharpe is, so well integrated with the actual story of the Indian and the Peninsular wars. The reading of your books has been and still is a great pleasure to me. Best compliments! and wishes for your next works.
