Dear Mr. Cornwell! It is more than 10 years since I last saw you: it was on the first SAS meeting in London which I came to with my mum. It was a great pleasure to meet Muir Sutherland, Tom Clegg, you and countless other Sharpe fans in the flesh! Now comes my question and suggestion: Originally I had planned to write my final exam about the Black Prince, which, however, was doomed to fail in the end with nobody willing to tutor me on such rare topics. The only film about the Black Prince I know of is disastrous and had nothing to do with historical facts. It was that old one with Errol Flynn in the main role. How about writing a novel about the Black Prince, who offers every mark a character is requested to have in fiction????? I hope you are all well, and despite of being far too occupied to enjoy the pleasure of spending hours with Richard Sharpe (which I did then neglecting university totally) I love to remember my mother[ and my trip to London and to the various locations of filming in Turkey. Best wishes, Hildegard (from Lübeck, Germany)
