Dear Mr Cornwell,
It is giving me great pleasure to write this thank you note. I have read a great many of your novels. They all inspire and instruct my thirst for history.
Many years ago I flew to Madrid, hired a car, and began exploring Spain and Portugal using the sites of the Peninsular war as the basis of the itinerary. Amongst other fascinating places were Badajoz, Salamanca, Almeida and, of course Bussaco – staying at that amazing hotel that I suspect you got to know quite well!
I just wanted to thank you for putting all this colour into these extraordinary events.
I’m currently really enjoying The Last Kingdom on tv.
That was it really, just thanks!
Please keep writing…!
Very best wishes,
Perry
