Mr Cornwell,

I would like to thank you for the enjoyment all your dark age novels have given me over the years. I’ve always been fascinated by the post Roman period in Britain and your novels paint  a vivid picture of life (and death) in that era .

Your recent Last Kingdom novels are getting closer to home for me in more ways than one.

I find your descriptions of the North West of England interesting as I live near “Brunanburh” on the  Wirral and through ancestry/DNA research I have found a big chunk of my ancestry is from  the North West of England, with a smaller percentage from Norway and Denmark.

I’m already looking  forward to your next Uhtred novel and his adventures  in Northern England..with some of my ancestors!

Tim.
