Mr. Cornwell: Firstly, your Grail series was truly engaging, with a mesmorizing balance of detail and action. There is a grit and a realness that is hard to turn away from. I am finding the same holds true for your Saxon books. I was curious as to what source you felt aided you most in researching Northumbria’s “daily grind” sort of things such as eating, keeping warm, toiletries, etc.. Thomas Head
