Hello Mr Cornwell,

Thank you for taking time to read this.

I just had to write to tell you what has just happened!

English history has always fascinated me and after watching The Last Kingdom I was inspired to read your wonderful book series (just about to start 7 and thoroughly enjoying!) During the battle in East Anglia which takes place at the end of Death of Kings I began to recognise a few place names without translation but one was baffling me. As soon as I finished I checked online…the place name is Eanulfsbirig and I have lived in St Neots my whole life! I wanted to tell you how you made my day and I felt very proud of my home town. I now know why the secondary school in Eynesbury is called Ernulf!

Thanks again, looking forward to many more hours of happy reading!

Gemma
