Dear Mr. Cornwell,
As a Swedish-American, I moved to Waterloo, Belgium with my wife in 1998 – started with ‘Sharpe’s Waterloo’ and have since read all your books with great pleasure; now on ‘1356’
I especially like the way you give your characters intelligent, yet biting sense of humor in their comments and observations.
In this regard, I wonder if you ever came across a Swedish author by the name of Frans G. Bengtsson, who wrote “The Long Ships” in 1945 – the viking main character is Röde Orm, and is also a brilliant read… (made into a B-movie with Richard Widmark)
I agree with Lee Child, another recent favorite; “nobody does this better than you!”
Best personal regards,
Thomas
