Dear Mr Cornwell, it was years ago now that my dad gave me a book to read (Harlequin) and by god I loved it! since then I have read most of your works and now consider you to be my favourite author. I especially like the stories that are based on real events, I have learnt a lot from reading your books. I am really looking forward to the next saxon story, in fact I am just about to re read the Last Kingdom. please keep up the excellent work. David Byers (huge fan)
