Dear Bernard, I have just finished my second read of your Warlord Trilogy after a gap of nearly 10 years since I first read it. Now that this site gives me an opportunity to contact you, I would just like to say how impressively written and moving these books are. I read a great deal of fiction – both classic and contemporary – yet there are few books I will feel like re-reading the moment I have finished them. I almost feel like Derfel is one of my friends now – so well do I know him! This period of history fascinates me and I am so glad that you have given the Arthurian legends the re-telling they deserve. I would love to see this trilogy as a film series one day. Given how well Peter Jackson brought Tolkien’s work to the cinema – is this something you would consider if the right director approached you? Thanks for writing these books anyway – I look forward to encouraging my son to read them when he’s old enough. Regards, Phil.
