Dear Mr Cornwell, I am a 8th grader and I have read all of your Sharpe books except for the last one, Sharpe’s Devil. I love all of the characters, and it was a wonderful series. I am also looking forward to the Nathaniel Starbuck books, too. I have read many historical fiction books on this time period, but none of them were as exciting or as accurate as yours. I have one question to ask of you. The riddle you put on your website that tells us about Sharpe’s father was extremely hard. I was wondering if you could give us a hint, or an easier riddle. Thank you for your time. Signed Nicholas Chouairi
