Dear Mr Cornwell,

I have been an avid fan since I discovered the Arthur Series a long time ago. I want to compliment you on a few things. Firstly this is a brilliant website – to look at, navigate and find what we need – there are so many poor ones these days. Your willingness to interact with the public is much appreciated. I really enjoy your straight-talk and explanations about what you don’t want to receive – I really appreciate that kind of honesty. Many people better qualified than I will have complimented you on your writing. I will just say that your books are one of very few that I genuinely get excited about. Lastly I also wanted to say how much I enjoyed Tim Pigott-Smith’s reading/acting of the Arthur series on audio book. Did you have input on how he characterised the voices? Did you like the audio books? I really felt that he did a brilliant job with the character’s voices. My best wishes to you and yours and I hope 2015 is a great year for you.

Sincere regards,

Matthew Hedges.
