Dear Mr. Cornwell, First of all let me say how wonderful your books are and that I’m huge fan, especially of the the Warlord Trilogy. I’m very curious to know do your fans ever send you gifts? I know some authors receive items in the mail from fans relating to their books such as drawings made of characters, objects created based on descriptions in passages, or songs and poems written about certain stories. For example, I’m very curious to know has a fan ever sent you a drawing of what he or she thought Sharpe looked like or made a sword for you resembling Derfel’s? If you have received such gifts from fans, what has been the most unique or unusual one ever sent to you. Keep writing your fantastic novels. Ellen
