Dear Mr Cornwell First of all I would like to thank you for making my Dad’s Christmas. I bought both Sharpe’s Skirmish and Sharpe’s Christmas via the Sharpe Appreciation Society. He had no idea that these books existed (not having access to the Internet), so it was a wonderful surprise, especially since you had taken the trouble to sign them both. I am now waiting to see him again so that I can read them myself! I am writing to ask whether there are any plans to release Sharpe’s War on DVD. Dad did record it for me, but neither of our video recorders were up to the task of watching it! Both are older than Sharpe I think. It would make a wonderful Father’s day present for him, not to mention a “to me from me pressie” Looking forward to reading the rest of Sharpe’s Escape. Any plans to come back to Lincoln to publicise this? Yours Helen Heywood Friends of Lincoln Castle Longbow Group
