Hello Bernard,
I hope you are well. I would like to thank you for filling my head with your stories over the past 20 or so years. I think the first book of yours I read was Winter King. I remember thinking at the time that this was how Arthur should be portrayed. I have read and enjoyed much of the Sharpe series (with a few still to go) and the Grail quest series, I need to read again. My favourite series so far has been the Saxon chronicles/Last Kingdom series. Perhaps the reason was that when I first read The Last Kingdom, I had not long finished studying my Bachelor degree in History, ( I am a roof tiler by trade and is still my occupation. I studied history in my leisure time for the fun of it, I am 54 now) and the unit I enjoyed doing the most was The Vikings. The influence from Scandinavian culture all through-out Europe was, and is staggering. Right from the beginning I very much enjoyed this series and was rewarded practically every year with a new story. Thank you for bringing a character like Utred of Bebbanburg to life, and of course Sharpe and Thomas of Hookton. I realise that you would receive many thanks from thousands of readers across the globe, and I just wanted to join the chorus. Thank you.
Peter Briscoe
