Mr. Cornwell! Waldo here again…told you I would be back…. I graduated to Sharpe’s Hounor finally…I got a couple of questions: 1. Was Mr. Ducos real in any effect…may not have been real historically..but did you base him off of someone? Many thanks.

2. How much about the Spanish Guerrilla Fighters, the Partisans, is true? Many thanks again!

3. How much in Sharpe’s Gold (the book!, the movie was weird, no offense) is true…there was no historical note in the back? Many thanks again.

4. I happened to be re-reading The Saxon Stories (revving up to the new book), and I was wondering if The Lothbrok Brothers were true, and if it is true that Ivarr(i don’t remember the spelling) did actually lost his army in Scotland, in think it was? Many thanks!

5. Ok..last question I promise…for now…Where in the world do you get such good resources from? I was looking in your suggested reading lists for the resources you used for your writing….where did you find these books…I can’t find them anywhere…(this is not a criticism that you made up the resources…just wondering how you conduct research.) Many thanks! Waldo
