Dear Mr. Cornwell ( my predictive text just corrected you to “Cromwell” how about that?)

I’m much enjoying “The Last Kingdom” series and have just finished “The Burning Land” I was intrigued to read that you grew up in Thundersley. So did I. We lived just along the road from St.Peter’s and worshipped there. I spent many hours in the churchyard. Needless to say I found the book very evocative as so much happened in familiar places, not least Canvey and Two Tree Island. I’d no idea that name went back so far. As a teenager I joined a venture scout unit in S. Benfleet which had been given the name “Beamfleotam”

As I say, all very evocative

And so to “Death of Kings”

Thank you

Michael
