Dear Bernard Thank you for Sharpe series. I journalist friend gave me “Rifles”in May, and I’ve managed to read through most of the books. I found the India books, in particular, a rich period read. Pennisula campaign aside, curious why you never took Sharpe through Southern Spain or North Africa? I was hoping the area’s Islamic and Jewish past might produce a couple more Sharpe books. Perhaps another Cornwell series around the 900 AD.? Best DW
