Hi Mr Cornwell
On a trip home I picked up old Readers Digest condensed editions of Sharpes Eagle and Sharpes Gold, from the early 80’s in which there were many fine illustrations from Neville Dear. As they were my introduction to your novels as an impressionable 10 year old the paintings have stayed with me (especially the confrontation between Sharpe and the Provosts, and the wonderful expression on Harper’s face).
Do you remember these illustrations and did you have any involvement in their production? Despite Sean Beans great performance I think that my image of Richard Sharpe still comes from these images.
Regards
Steve
