Hello Bernard, Thank you for many years of riveting reading and also for being so approachable through this forum. As an Englishman now living in California your stories bring me both enormous pleasure and a few pangs of homesickness! I’m very much looking forward to your latest work. My annual tradition is to read your latest book and then listen to the audio book version. The narrator, Tim Piggot-Smith, has to be the most talented (and multi-accented!) audio performer I have ever heard. If anyone else reading this has not heard his versions of Bernard’s books I highly recommend them. It is the perfect combination of great prose and superb performance. They go together like fish and chips! Anyway, as I was perusing Amazon to order your latest I was shocked to see a different narrator for the Last Kingdom. Was Tim unavailable? Will he be back for future books? I do hope so as he has the most extraordinay vocal skills. Other than that, keep up the great work Bernard and I hope you can make it out to the West Coast one of these days. Adam
