Hi,

Thank you so much for your books.  I have enjoyed reading and re-reading them – the stories and the historical details.

There’s one small detail that has bugged me and I have meant to ask for some time.

In the Arthur books, buildings are constructed by using whole-tree posts upside down so they didn’t rot so quickly.  It sounds strangely plausible, but I have never seen that anywhere else.  I wouldn’t have noticed had you not described the process repeatedly in detail.

I was wondering if this was based on archeological evidence from the time or if it was one of your own details?  Fabulous detail either way, although I’d love it to be a lesser known real fact of course!

Kind regards

David
