Dear Sir

I was really surprised and happy about Fools and Mortals. I do not think I have ever read any of your books, which had not a war in it. But it was great, treating a subject I never thought you would work with. Elizabethan London was a cesspool of religious fanaticism, violence, poverty and hunger, and you really - as always:-) draw a good picture of the time and the people in it.

Your sincerely

Q

Warlord Chronicles - Another terrific story that I GREATLY enjoyed reading - Thank You!!

My reading of Arthurian materials was limited to only Mr Andrew Lang's Tales of King Arthur and the Round Table, and your credible (enough) version is a total immersion into these characters' lives and experiences.  Yeah, there were too many late evenings with these 3 books!

I laughed when Derfel threw Excalibur into the 'deep water'.  We can't know for sure, but this location seems not too far from where Thomas in The Grail Quest's Heretic hurled another very famous relic - Should we be organizing a search off the coast of southern England?

Also, the very graphic picture you created sending these much loved characters off into legend is spectacular - Well done!

Am looking forward to reading Uhtred's War of the Wolf adventure, and hope to one day re-visit our old friend Nathan Starbuck too.

Thank again for all that you do

Cheers

Kenneth

I first encountered your works in Nevada USA when I worked at a library with the Sharpe series and fell in love with your way with words.  I am inveterate reader with an eclectic taste for many different types of writing.  I have so enjoyed everything of yours that I have read and am looking forward to re-reading from start to finish every book and all the ones I haven't read - yet!  Just wish there were more time in my present schedule to read!

I wanted to thank you for writing these amazing books. I inherited all of the Sharpe series to date as well as a few others such as Redcoat. I have yet to finish all of your books, but I see why my granddad dedicated multiple shelves to them. Thank you!

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I'm an ex-pat myself ('74) and just want to tell you how much I have enjoyed your books, starting with Sharpe (and Sean Bean's portrayal on TV ). Please keep up the fantastic work, but it's OK to rest on your laurels, too...!

Sincerely,

Glenn Burns, FLA.

Hi Mr Cornwell

Just wanted to say how much I've loved reading your books throughout my life. I've read nearly every book and get totally engrossed in them all. My all time favourite has to be the Arthur series and living so close to caerleon helps, but I think that it was reading the adventures of Richard Sharpe that drew me to joining the army for a few years and the irony of getting trained by the green jackets in basic training made it all that more magical. Now starting to collect all your books in hardback to take into my old age and pass on down the line. Really love your work and thank you for sharing your wonderful stories.

 

Thanks

Chris

Dear Bernard,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how grateful I am for making me into a voracious reader.  I absolutely love your Sharpe series, and your writing is so enjoyable for me.  I plan on reading every book you have written.

Thank-you and keep writing great stuff.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

My name is Kristina and I am from Slovakia. I really need to tell you how I became the lover of your books, especially Saxon stories that I ve started reading 6 years ago by accident. I purchased ,,The Lords of the North" in local book store in our small town, I didnt know that its already 3rd edition after The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman. But I fell in love with that book so I started to search more information and found out that there is something like "The Saxon Stories" so I hurried to buy The Last Kingdom and the others. Its really hard to find these books here in Slovakia even worse for me cause I read it in English because I dont like Slovak translation (I find my language not as rich as yours and English gives it authentical atmosphere)- I had to wait 3 months to get "Death of Kings". At this moment I am reading The Empty Throne and I am near the end and I have this feeling to write you this mail and share my joy that I had that fortune to meet your book at store in "English language" section. I love the language, love the crude writing and the way you depicting the art of war, true fights between religions and historical note. Thank you for that, can t wait to buy Warriors of the Storm hope I would be lucky enough to find it here, its difficult. I am very sorry for my English I guess there are a lots of grammar mistakes so i believe your eyes wont hurt much.

I wish You all the best in Your personal life and career, good health (that is the most important) and may only the kind people surrounding You. :)

Hi Bernard

I was reading the questions list to catch up and saw someone was asking about the documentary you did a few years ago. A quick check found it is on YouTube, in four parts but they seems to be blocked in some territories (US/Mexico) among others. Thought that it might be useful for the rest of your fans to know this. Going to watch it tonight to stave off the time until The Last Kingdom is back on TV and War of the Wolf comes out. Thanks for all the reading pleasure you give us
