Just wished to thank you for these books. I have read them all twice and can’t wait for the next one. The characters, the  time period, the bits about how people did things like making charcoal, swords , boats ,everything, I find fascinating. Thank you so much!

I just wanted to say thank you, I have all your books.

No need to respond, know you're busy.  Thought I'd give you a shot after watching 'Last kingdom' on Netflix and could not stop reading.  My job typically has me reading non-fiction technical articles, and that's all I've done for a few years, but you hooked me.  Loved the first 5, absolutely inhaled them, the next five will be delivered in early April.  Thanks much, haven't had that much fun reading in years.

Dear Mr. Cornwell

I’ve just finished reading “Fools and Mortals”, and wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed it.  Many years ago, I wrote my Masters thesis on Henry Carey and his family, and I’ve always felt that they deserved more attention and recognition!

It’s great to see them brought to life, and, having taken part in more than a few (very) amateur productions over the years, your portraits of the individual players (and the description of the rehearsal process) all seemed very familiar!

I hope we’ll see some more of Richard, Silvia et al in the future!

So have just finished the Arthur trilogy. Derfel was an adopted Saxon with the Brits, Sharpe an orphan and Uhtred brought up by others - a similarity. Derfel reminds me of Uhted - I found it heard to believe he was the old monk that wrote the tale was the ex-ruler of Dumonia but I suppose I am not that old that I can see a diminishing character. Sansum reminded me of the priest we first meet in Last Kingdom from Cornwall - Assa?? It has been a year or so.....anyhow brilliant series. Loved Nimue, Morgan and Mordred as characters - very different. Now off to read Stonehenge. Thank you once again for hundred of hours of fun.

Sir,

Just wanted to pass along a not to tell you how much I have enjoyed your books over the years and how excited I am to see that another Uhtred book is coming out! I always recommend your Winter King trilogy to anyone I talk to about my favorite books. The Nathaniel Starbuck series is a favorite (wish there were more). I also love the standalone books like Stonehenge and Gallows Thief. I have one signed book - Harlequin - and it is a prized possession. I was in the American Air Force and always carried at least one of your books on deployments. I have read your books on 3 continents! I am beginning to ramble so I close by saying - Thank you very much for your books and I hope you have many more left in you!

Cheers!

Now look Mr C, we are neither of us getting any younger and if either of us pops his clogs before I get to know the end of my friend Uhtred's  career, I'll be furious. Particularly if it's me who's clogs are popped! So let's not waste any more time messing about with other subjects until this one's sorted! I've loved all the others but you've been very naughty in making Uhtred so enthralling in such a long series. Now just get it finished, I'm getting on you know!

Many thanks

Hello Mr. Cornwell.

This is to express my sincere appreciation for your talent, your incredible research, your uncanny ability to construct a gripping story line and most importantly, your most valuable gift of time. I know very well the commitment that it takes to produce the work that you have so generously provided and I thank you. I have read (I believe) every manuscript that you have written and plague my bookseller with requests of your next releases. I clearly am a devoted reader and would consider it not only a pleasure but a remarkable privilege to one day meet the man who has given me so much joy and understanding of Great Britain's history.  Again, Thank You.

It wasn't easy getting all of the series in the chronological order but I have managed to read everything (including all the appendices and notes) and I am over the moon that you are still writing it and that there is a third TV series being filmed. Can I thank you for reinvigorating my reading of novels and hope there are many more of yours to come. History is fascinating when it is put into situations with with love, lust and danger. I was enthused by your literature to delve even deeper into the British origins and would love to read stories about the Isceni tribe, Boudica and the other British tribes. If ever you decide to write about them please flag it up.

Best wishes and keep writing,

Steve
