Dear Bernard,
I finished reading ‘Death of Kings’ earlier today.Many thanks for another exciting and informative chapter of the Warrior Chronicles. I keenly await the seventh instalment. And I wholly endorse your comment in the book’s historical endnote that ‘the story of how England came to exist is a massive,exciting and noble tale’ which is badly neglected in the British educational curriculum. I was in full-time education in England from 1971 to 1984,between the ages of 5 and 18,and I was only taught about the Saxons and Vikings at primary school,when I was aged about 9.
The American Civil War is another important event in history that isn’t taught much in Britain, and I’ve been waiting sixteen years to see whether Billy Blythe gets his comeuppance; so as far as I’m concerned, Starbuck and his can’t start marching again soon enough:I’ll definitely be there when they do.
With best wishes
John Clifford
