Dear Mr.Cornwell, thank you for the Saxon Stories you have written so far and long may your imagination continue.You have hinted that they will continue beyond Alfred the Great but I’m curious to know how far.My local town of Gillingham,Dorset has an area known as Slaughtergate where Edmund Ironside defeated King Canute in around 1015? and was wondering if we would feature in one of your forthcoming novels.Another claim to fame we have is that Edward the Confessor was declared King here in 1042.Our forest was a favourite of King John and he built A hunting lodge here which was used for about 200 years til the time of HenryIII,so our little corner of Wessex has quite a slice of our country’s royal history.Keep up the good work PLEASE!!!!!!!! Adrian.
