Hello Bernard, You won’t remember but I wrote on your bulletin board a few years ago, my name is Chris Webster and I am BA War Studies undergraduate War Studies student at King’s College London. If my exams go as planned after Easter my summer dissertation will be on the leadership of Alfred the Great. I’ve been a massive fan of your books since I was eight years old, and I was wondering if my favourite story teller might be able to give me some advice as to research on the topic. It’d be great if you could get back to me.. Yours sincerely, Chris Webster P.S. Hurry up and finish the next Saxon installment, Bebbanburg needs to get the Uthred treatment!
