Dear Mr C,

I have loved following Uhtred since you brought him into life all those years ago and have immersed myself in his adventures.  ……..What a joy and delight your books have been and that final battle took my breath away.  Thank you a million times over for writing about Uhtred and his times.  My very sketchy knowledge of Old English and Norse has improved no end –  I still don’t know how to pronounce the words but I know what they mean now.  I think Benedetta is an absolute scream – leaping from her horse and bashing the whatsit out of the woman cursing her man! what a joy that was.  I shall miss Uhtred no end but thank you again for bringing him into my life.
