Dear Mr Cornwell,

I am 34 years old and first met the illustrious Lt Col as is at the tender age of about 8 or 9 when I was probably too young to stay up watching Sean Bean, Daragh O Malley and John Tams wage war across Europe on  itv on my grandfather’s knee..

I later found the books and have bought multiple copies of each over the years as I’ve worn them out.

Thank you so much for Sharpe’s Assassin… It was the perfect mix of characters, made me laugh gasp and wince in all the right places… Like a catch up with a missed old friend… Please let the march continue!

Thank you

Sarah Lee
