Hi Mr Cornwell,
I love your books. I have lived in Australia now for 45 years but was in the UK before that. In school I hated history as a subject. Especially at a school called saint Aloysius in Hinckley Leicestershire. It is not called that anymore. The point is, I can’t get enough of it now! It is so interesting, especially if you read a great story and learn something at the same time, that is what your books do. I am interested in the pyramids too, I cant get enough of that. Especially Khufu, it is so different to the others.
It makes me sad the way history was taught when I was at school. It took me half a lifetime to get interested again. My wife and I go back to the UK now every couple of years since we have retired and we go on history tours and are enthralled by them. Thank you. I am trying to write a book about my experiences on Koolan Island (Kimberley, Australia) in the mid 70’s, but I started it 30 years ago so I cant say progress has been rapid! I may finish it one day. If you feel inclined you may wish to look up Kimberleys on the internet, it is a beautiful part of the world but very isolated and underestimated. Not cheap to get to though. If you ever get to Perth and want an escort I can show you and Mrs round a bit. I am not a whiz but I know a few places.
