Dear Bernard,

I am so enjoying The Last Kingdom.  Such clever plotting and battles.  The best part is to try to figure out what will happen and how the battles are set.  (Excellent brainwork for someone my age 77yrs old.)  What would we do without your brilliant authorship. Uhtred is a real man and our history of England so interesting.  It is the best way to become interested and learn our origins.  Thank you so much.

Sincerely.

Christine.
