Mr. Cornwell So far I have read 6 of your tales. Stonehenge was my least favorite, while Crackdown was the one I really liked best. I especially enjoyed the Gallows Thief and have just finished The Pale Horseman. Great story telling! Since the setting is 9th century England, the site names are unfamiliar to me and I am having difficulty locating them. I am especially interested in the marsh where Alfred hid during the winter. The great changes in seawater level reminded me of Mont St. Michel. Could you please provide some modern geographic references. Keep writing those wonderful tales. Although the Sharpe and Arthur books should keep me busy for a while. Carol from Cape May, New Jersey, but I spend the summer in Kennebunkport, Maine
