Dear Mr. Cornwell
LOVE your work! I’m a widow, age 68, and enjoy going to battle with Uhtred. I also love any reference to needlework in your books. My request: In the next Uhtred book, please tell us how the women acquired their stitching tools. (Did Uhtred bring his wife a packet of needles, a thimble, a pair of scissors from Frankia? Did the women stitch ornamental work other than banners, sails, and capes?) Perhaps in your research you have discovered other bits of needlework history from that period. If so, please share?
Thank you for your books. I marvel at your genius!
Linda
