Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I would like to congratulate you with your Birthday and seize this opportunity to extend my deep appreciation to you. Your “Warlord Chronicles” are enormously important to me and I still remember many scenes by heart. By the will of fate, I was lucky enough to get acquainted with this unsurpassed trilogy when I was eleven years old. I remember reading chapter by chapter avidly, as if in a fever, and my obsession with this series of books passed all conceivable boundaries. Together with the protagonists I lived, loved and died, cut the throats of enemies and buried comrades, kept the oath of allegiance to friends to the last drop of blood and mercilessly destroyed traitors, believed in the old gods and recovered the Thirteen Treasures of Britain, participated in the mysteries of Mithras and converted to Christianity, secretly continuing to observe customs of ancestors, mourned old pagan Britain to my very marrow with unbearable pain, lighting a monstrous funeral pyre, and rushed into the last battle, knowing that we were all doomed to death. In a word, I took the “Warlord Chronicles” extremely to heart. Derfel Cadarn, Ceinwyn, Arthur, Guinevere, Nimue, Merlin, Morgan, Galahad, Issa, Tristan, Iseult, Cuneglas, Helledd, Culhwch, Sagramor, Aelle, Cerdic, Bedwin, even Sansum – I loved them all so much, as if I knew them in person. I can open the books anywhere and smile or cry with the deepest nostalgia.
Dear Mr. Cornwell, you gave me the greatest Treasure, which has no equal. Now I am a Master of Historical Sciences, and your books arouse my admiration in the same way as they did 13 years ago. I can say with complete confidence that you are the best author of historical novels of our time. I would like to wish you long life, great inspiration and further brilliant creative path! Thank you for the whole world of “Warlord Chronicles”!
I apologize for any mistakes in my English and thank you very much for reading this letter.
Most respectfully from Moscow, Russia,
Elena
