Dear Mr Cornwell We have a group called Bernard Cornwell on Shelfari and I have set up a blog for the books we read which at the moment is the Saxon Series and I have been placing all the place names and character names along with any background history and the epithets you use,I particularly liked the Fight at Finnsburh and the title The Pale Horseman for this novel. Why have you in Sword Song used SWORD SONG IS YOUR VOOR AUKJE MIT LIEFDE ER WAS EENS? is this a lost love of yours? I thank you for your gift of writing which in turn gives us so much pleasure.
