Dear mr Cornwell, With the zeal of the recently converted I am currently racing through all your novels and so far I have found each and every one to be an absolute joy! (I think they invented the word “page-turner” for your books!) My favorite ones so far however (by a nose) are the Arthur novels. I found the mix of myth and legend with gritty realism a fantastic combination. That is why I am anxious to know if there might be plans to tackle other myths and legends in a similar way. Currently, I am halfway “Vagabond” and at one point Thomas tells Robbie about an old English folk hero by the name of Robin Hood (or Hude) who fought the French speaking nobility. I wonder if you have ever entertained the idea of giving the legend of Robin Hood the “Bernard Cornwell” -treatment!? I think that would be great!! My second question is, if you are not so keen on doing a Robin Hude novel, is there perhaps another myth or legend that you would like to explore in this way? Or does the idea of returning to this kind of novel not appeal to you? Regards from Eelco van Kappen
