Dear Mr Cornwell.
Thank you again for an exciting read. I’m finishing the latest in the Saxon Series. I think for a clear visualization of the genre, people might harken back to the Prince Valient series in the papers. Agincourt was a fabulous romp and a clear insight into the historic clumsiness of the French battle demenor. Of course, the blessing from heaven of a rainstorm over a freshly plowed field was miraculously helpful. After reading your bio, I realized that you had a lot in common with another of my literary icons, Rudyard Kipling. Are we to presume Starbuck died at Fredericksberg? At the Pleasanton Scottish Games, I met an aquaintance of yours, who is an real major in the British Army (dressed in uniform with kilt). He said that you were considering hanging it all up! If C.S. Forrester was your inspiration, then I’ll wager that Sharpe, as did Hornblower with Forrester, will come calling with more exploits, and you won’t rest untill you’ve put them down. Thanks so much for your great work.
John May
