Dear Mr Cornwell, I greatly enjoyed both your Warlord Trilogy and your Grail Quest trilogy. Recently, I decided to get acquainted with the much celebrated Mr Richard Sharpe, and have since been immersed in reading through the entire series chronologically (I am currently about to finish Gold.) If you can bear with me, I have a Sharpe question that has been gnawing at the back of my mind. I was curious why you chose to send Sharpe to Copenhagen during his interval between Trafalgar and the Peninsular war, rather than on the ill-fated Buenos Aires expedition under Home Popham? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed Sharpe’s Danish adventure thoroughly. I’m just curious as to why you came to the decision to keep him in London and then send him to action in Denmark instead of sending him to the Cape of Good Hope with Sir David Baird and then on to South America under Popham? Since several companies of both the 1/95th and 2/95th were part of Popham’s force, I thought Sharpe might have fit in quite nicely on that folly. Thank you for the wonderful books. I can’t wait to get through the rest of the Sharpe series (all of them are already bought, and just waiting their turn on the bookshelf) and then delve into The Last Kingdom. Cheers, Gus Miranda
