Hi Mr. Cornwell (Bernard? B.C.? No I think I’ll stick with “Mr. Cornwell”)
This is going to be a little bit stunted as I just kind of decided out of nowhere to pop this across upon finally finishing War Lord and realising to my horror that it was the last in the series. First, it was a wonderful end to the series, and in hindsight where it had to end up (although a part of me always wanted to see more from old-man Uthred that we used to be bookended with).
But second, and more importantly for me: It’s been a journey, and I just wanted to thank you because the reading and discussion of all of your books, but the Saxon Stories in particular, had been an emotional touchstone between me and my grandfather for the last sixteen years. It’s no exaggeration to say that your writing brought us closer together.
While for me personally I’ve always had a special kind of love for the Grail Quest series, the impact that the Saxon Stories have had on mine and my grandfather’s lives cannot be understated, so again:
Thank you.
