Good morning Mr. Cornwell .

I read excalibur books when I was a teenager. I compared with other books on that theme ,I still think your books are the best ever  and touched my heart. I want to know a detail that is still impressed in my memory after 18 years: the challenges druids must acquire by destiny   (maybe I will be wrong but I don’ t have the book under my nose actually). It starts with a scar in the pride,in the mind and in the body. The Character of Nimue had her three scars to become wise.Where did you take inspiration for this? In my opinion is a beautiful metaphore,I am curios to know where is the limit between celtic folklore and your writing.
