Mr. Cornwell,

I recently was shown by a friend your Saxon Chronicles series and I very much enjoyed your writing style. That got me into Sharpe(I really do like the Napoleonic Wars) and I am now at middle of Sharpe’s Escape. In this book, Major Ferreira and his brother keep saying “os ingleses por mar!”. I am Brazilian but this makes no sense whatsoever to me. I’d be extremely pleased if you could enlighten me.

Stay strong, Mr. Cornwell! Sorry for any spelling mistakes and thanks for taking your time to read this.

Mário Lemos
