Dear Mr Cornwell I just want to say that I love your books, especially the arthur and grail ones. They are truely a great experience and are the best books I have read in their respective areas, bar none. Also the Uthred books are awesome. I would like to ask you a few questions, firstly why do you seem to favour the pagan side? or seem to use this as a basis for the main character’s belief? does it allow the character to be invloved in more intersting situations? Secondly, do you believe the holy grail exists? Thirdly, have you ever considered writing about the crusades? And finally, I would really like to know where your interest for legend and history came from. Thankyou for your great books. Matthew Michaelides
