Hello Sir.
I am not writing to ask any of those unfriendly things! I wanted to tell you that back when my sons were younger and played lengthy double header baseball games at Veterans Field, I would take a walk into Chatham center and mill about the shops; this is how I encountered The Last Kingdom, a perfect summer read. I’ve been back to the Yellow Umbrella for each subsequent title, hooked not just on the characters and narrative, but also the wry humor in the telling. So naturally I am watching the BBC first season and looking forward to the next. I do miss Fate is Inexorable, and the name of the sword, Serpent Breath, apparently some literary license taken in production. I am enjoying comparison of the screen portrayal of your Saxon series to my personal images conjured by reading the books. As with any art, music, the canvas, the written word, there is the intent and expression of the artist, and there is the perception and interpretation made by the audience. Both are gifts. Thank your for yours, to me.
