Dear Mr Cornwell I am an avid reader of all your books, and have been ever since I first read Sharpe’s Eagle I haven’t stopped. What I have noticed in most of your books is that the main character has an Irish Companion, Sharpe had Harper and Derfel had Cavan. I was wondering if Uthred would have this honour. If so would they come from county Tipperary were my Grandad insists the best Men, Horses and Butter comes from. Yours Sincerely, Robert Brady
