Hi Mr. Cornwell,
I discovered the Saxon Stories after watching the Last Kingdom series. I’ve been fascinated with the Viking Age of Britain since I was a young history major in college. Having Welsh, Scottish, English, Irish and Norse ancestry, I can see (through your writing how it was possible for these cultures to blend together) either through war, trade or conversion. I am also a former rower and love the way you portray what I perceive to be the origins of the sport. Thanks for making my 2 hr commute to NYC bearable.
Regards,
John Jones
