Dear mister Cornwell, I very much enjoy reading your books but have some questions for you. How, when you are writing a book do you inform yourselves about customs and places? And then another thing. For example, when in a town, and say Sharpe gets into a tavern. The name it has, is it invented or genuine? I would like to hear from you on this. I will also like reading from you for years to come. Yours faithfully, Eelco Wijnsma
