Dear Bernard, I just finished The Burning Land and enjoyed it very much as I have the entire series. I have two questions. First, I noticed you referred to Boecca and Thyra’s having a child but you gave neither the sex nor the name of the baby. Is that not an important detail or will that child play a part in future books?

My second question concerns Edward. You refer to him as Edward Atheling and I’m curious why as I’ve always heard him referred to as Edward the Elder. I think one of your readers may have mentioned this but on the Family Tree page you have Athelstan as Aethelflaed’s son but he is the son of Edward the Elder. I love this period in history so I’m extremely grateful for these books. Ann Madonna
