Dear Mr Cornwell first, allow me to say that you Arthur books are great and the Saxon stories even better. I’m a big fan. but there is one question i would like to ask, so here goes. In the Saxon stories it seems that none of the Danes can read. but Saxo who made the Gesta Danorum notes that when he visits the country. A great deal of the population could read. even among the lower class. this is from the 1200 century. later then your books. but still. Thanks you for some great books.
