Hello Mr. Cornwell,
I’ve read a large chunk of your work and am a huge fan. My job is an hour from home so I’ve listened to the Saxon tales on audiobook. My daughter, who is seven, listens on our way home from school.
Her teacher has started reading the series after my daughter chimed in during a discussion of Vikings. The conversation included the seven year old explaining why a short sword was good for piercing maile and leather to get to the belly. The going on to discuss why you had to thrust high with your spear when attacking uphill. Luckily her teacher was fascinated and I didn’t get a phone call.
I eagerly await the next book. Thank you for all these years of reading.
Sincerely,
Dave Weese
