Just to say how very much I like your books especially The Last Kingdom novels. I now live in Malaysia, but my home town is Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. I always remember a pub just outside of Weston, called Hobb’s Boat. The Pub sign depicted a Viking Long Boat and the head of a Viking ( with horned helmet ) I found that Hobb’s actually was meant to be Ubba’s Boat. Cannington not being far away and with local tales that the River Axe, not far from said pub, was at one time navigable as far as Cheddar, and longships made that journey. Please keep writing especially about Uhtred.
