Mr. Cornwell,
Just to let you know that my wife thinks I have an “issue” because I re-read your novels until the covers get bent and wrinkled; especially the Sharpe books. The interesting thing to me is how close Sharpe and others are to being Burrough’s Tarzan. I first read Tarzan of the Apes when I was about 12 and generally only read novels with this kind of anti-hero.
I am a 61 year old retired school Principal(Head Master) from Canada. My retirement gift from my wife was a drive through England and Scotland to visit any historical site that I wanted. I loved standing on the q-deck of the HMS Victory and thought about Sharp at Trafalger and how his perspective of the battle added to everything else o have read about that day.
Sorry to go on and on but we, your readers, check book stores all the time looking for the next book. Thanks very much.
PS My wife always gets a bored look when I talk about history.
Thanks from one history geek to another.
N. Keane
