Hello Mr. Cornwell.
As much as I have enjoyed your Saxon Chronicles, it was really a joy to return to the hero that I grew up on, Richard Sharpe. I am throughly enjoying Sharpe’s Assassin, and I expect to equally enjoy Sharpe’s Challenge later this year. I have a few questions:
- Are you finally going to tell the story of Sharpe at Albuera?
- How about Rolica and Vimeiro? And Moore’s march into Spain just before Sharpe’s Rifles?
- You once said that you would never, never, never write the story of Sharpe’s baptism of fire in Flanders. Are you holding to this, or is there a chance that we will read this story? If you can write a successful Sharpe adventure in the aftermath of Waterloo, Flanders should be easy for you.
Regards,
Alan Kempner
