I’ve found myself wondering recently if you’ve had the chance or inclination to read any of Francis Pryor’s recent popular books on archeology (Britain BC, Britain AD, Britain in the Middle Ages). My (former) in-laws live in a village near Ramsey, making Flag Fen and then Seahenge sources of local pride, so I’ve kept any eye out for his books. I’ve enjoyed them, and find his arguments pretty compelling. The story coming out of archeology tends to undercut the world of the Arthur books, but it doesn’t reduce the pleasure of reading them. Besides, the Saxon stories displaced the Arthur series as my favorite of yours. I think the setting in a better-documented period is part of it, but your fluency in Old English almost certainly contributes to a authentic tone to the dialogue. As you can guess, I’m anxiously awaiting the coming books, and hoping for as many as possible. Don’t take up skydiving, rock climbing, basejumping or similar in the meantime! Thanks- Eric
