Dear Mr Cornwell,

Just finished The Winter King and I find it one of best reads in my lifetime (59 years now). Maybe a silly thing to say, because a lot of books I have read a long time ago I probably hardly remember them. Still, best Arthur story in my view (and that includes Marion’s Mists of Avalon, which I also liked a lot. Completely different perspective). Looking forward to the other books of the series (I already have them of course).

Also enjoyed all 10 books of The Last Kingdoms books (and the new book is very very welcome).

Two small questions (don’t want to keep you from writing :) ).

(1) Why is it called the Winter King, is it because of the dark time? and (2) what books do you like to read yourself?
