Mr Cornwell: Loved your Arthur books, and am loving your Saxon/Viking series. I’ve had a very small business selling Viking artifacts for some years, and I just bought a Viking bronze mount with a distinctively individual face. I’m wondering if in your reading you’ve come across any period physical descriptions of Viking leaders? You’re welcome to take a look at the mount if you’d like at www.vikingsandsaxons.com. To me, the face looks like Ubba. I hope you continue with the Saxon series for quite a while. I’m now eager enough to get a copy of the new book to order it from England, rather than waiting for its US release date. Sad addiction! Regards, David M
