Hi Bernard,
I am from Kolkata, in India and never visited Great Britain or for that most part of the world. My favorite timeline is the medieval ages and specially how Christianity and politics went hand in hand.
I know i am repeating this for maybe a millionth time, but i love reading your books. Apart from being historical fictions they are filled with accurate history and human study.
Now i am reading the Holy Grail series and enjoying that.
My deepest respect to you and wish all the best.
Thanks,

No requests for book signings, no manuscripts, not anything. All I wish is to thank you very much for igniting my love for reading. I was once a prolific reader as a younger man but with family and work, I have not had the desire to pick up a book for over 30 years. A visit to a mobile library with my children introduced me to The Last Kingdom series. I could not put this down and have now moved onto the Sharpe books. Wow ! Your story telling just brings the reader to their world. Thank you very much for your talent.

Thank you sir for such a wonderful series. I have spent the last few weeks reading through all the books. They are amazing. All I ask is that Uhtred be reconciled with his his first son before either of them dies. His children really are wonderful. It may already be too late for that I am only on book 9 now.

Mr. Cornwell,
I'm reaching out just to say thank you! Reading The Last Kingdom Series reignited my love of historical fiction and fantasy novels. I have since re-delved into the genre and discovered, once again, my love for reading. It has also inspired me to start writing again (and no I won't send you my ideas, not sure my lawyer would like that. Only kidding.) I am yet to read the Sharpe Books, but having read through your website it seems like they are a must. If The Last Kingdom and The Grail Quest series are anything to go on, I'm in for another treat.
So again, thank you for giving me worlds to escape to and explore.

I am an avid fan and I consider myself a (very poor) collector of your books. I have read the entire Saxon series and am looking forward to the 'War of the Wolf'. I am currently making my way through Sharpe. I found you first when I was handed a copy of The Fort as soon as it was published (I was only 14!). I hope that one day you are able to write another book of this type, a British perspective of the American war of independence (or perhaps the war of 1812). However I do understand that this may be a pipe dream. I would like to thank you, for producing the literature that has kept this lonely night worker and (very) small time politician entertained for almost a decade. And I look forward to many more decades of reading your incredible work.
Thank you Mr Cornwell.

Hi Bernard,
I had a business meeting 6 months ago where we ended by swapping current favourite TV shows. I mentioned how much I’d recently enjoyed The Last Kingdom. Didn’t even know it had been written by you. Sorry! He then told me that it had - but that the Sharpe series was even better and I should give it a go.
Bought Sharpe’s Tiger on the way to the airport and now, 6 months down the track, I’ve just finished Sharpe’s Devil.
Thanks for a really crackingly good read!
I’ve enjoyed every step, every frustration and every advancement of Sharpe’s and Harper’s adventure.
I will miss them!
Cheers.

Dear Mr Cornwell
Thank you so much for Fools and Mortals-what fun!. Clearly a great deal of research went into the writing of your novel and you have inspired me to re-read Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. To my shame, I did not know that Shakespeare had a younger brother. I especially appreciate the historical note you always give at the end of your novel. I have been reading your novels for many years and your books have given me many hours of pleasure and excitement. I have just learned that there is another book in the Last Kingdom series- I have them all and I am now after your latest, here in Vienna, Austria. I hope there are still many more to come. All best wishes from here!

Mr. Cornwell,
today is a happy day because I learned that Uthred Ragnarson will soon grace my eyes with another fine tale! I love your writing and your tales of the old ways have caused me to develop a love of Danish lore. Before I end this message, I'll also mention that in board games such as Saga and Kings of War, my armies are often lead by a flaxen haired man who's mail has been polished to a shine.
Best wishes to you sir,
Russell B.
I have just finished The Flame Bearer, and was again was enthralled by your book. I was relieved to learn that Uhtred will be back.
Your books are a joy. I am a retired psychologist ( I now volunteer and treat vets with PTSD), but over the years history has been a passion. I fully enjoy non-fiction, but your books make it all come alive. We are also fans of Cape Cod since my wife's family are in Falmouth, and on the Vineyard, where we tend to visit annually. Enjoy your time there.

Thank you! We do!
Mr Cornwell,
I have waited it’s seems an absolute age for this at first rumoured 11th book!!
The excitement and anticipation is nearly unbearable!!
I am a massive sharp fan but when you wrote the Saxon Chronicles I was blown away!!
Thank you for bringing such joy to the modern reader! I always read the book and never buy digital, it somehow takes away the magic a bit.
I have the book pre ordered and I just want to say thank you again! I hope to meet you one day
Thanks
Chris Lumsdale
