Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I stumbled on to the Saxon Series when, feeling a junkie, I despaired finishing Game of Thrones and was hoping to find a similar series. There the comparison ends. I surrendered. As a devotee of your historically-based story telling, each book became such an adrenaline rush for me that when one was completed I felt I had come up from the depths gasping for air, hyperbole unintended. I own all the books in the series and have just finished The Pagan Lord and am beginning The Empty Throne. Thank you for keeping me from housework and other mundane chores of daily life. I’m quite sure if I didn’t have a husband to cook for I wouldn’t even do that, a small tribute for which I am sure he is grateful. You make me remember why I live and love to read.

Yours, most sincerely,

Helen Keaton

Great talk (as ever) at Cheltenham with your usual mix of self deprecation, wit and erudition. Glad to hear you've got a soft spot for the Arthurian trilogy; so have I! Looking forward to receiving my copy of Fools and Mortals on Thursday and delighted to hear there will be more about Uhtred. keep up the good work and have fun.

Just been to your event at Church House and very good indeed. Well done. Hadn't heard of you four months ago and one of my daughters bought me Harlequin and Vagabond. Have now read all four. They are brilliant and now I am a big fan. Keep it going.

Hi Bernard,

my name is Alexander, Alexander the great, the great reader of your books! hahah "stupid joke".

I have all the 10 books and reading the book 10, The Flame Bearer (O Portador Do Fogo in Brasil) pg 251.

Your books is amazing and I cannot stop, i'm bought the trilogy ''The Flame Bearer'' and go read after, but the great Uhtred will be miss.

Sorry my english, i would write more about everything i enjoy in your books, but i'm a ignorant in write english.

 

You are Amazing and congrats for your ideas and researches about the Vikings, saxons and the history of the europe. (my grandparents are from sweden and Poland and the topic interests me a lot) congrats again!

Here is a link to a C. J. Adrien's blog and his interview with Bernard Cornwell entitled 'How Historical is Historical Fiction?'

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I grew up in the sixties, and really don't remember any history from my school days apart from "Tudors and Stewarts".

I have read many (not all) of your books and enjoyed them immensely, and more importantly I have learned more history from you than I ever did at school.

You bring history to life, it is real and gritty, and quite enthralling.  Why you are not part of the national curriculum I will never know.  Your books should be required reading in schools.  If they were, I am sure many more children would develop an interest in the subject.

Keep on doing what you do best; entertaining and educating the nation,and may Uhtred live forever!

Yours faithfully,

Y. Walker

Sir,

 

Thank you, I started reading Last Kingdom, and could not put the books down, you have even surpassed my admiration for C.J.Sansom and the Shadlake series.

Now having read and collected all the Last Kingdom series, I have also done the Warlord Chronicles, and Azincourt.

Now for the big ones......Sharpe.

Just read the Tiger and Triumph while away on a break, off to buy more.

Fantastic writing, wonderful storytelling, and you are correct about Sean Bean.......born to be Sharpe.

 

Keep up the good work, and thank you for the hours of pleasure from reading your stories.

 

Best regards

Hello, Mr Cornwell, I just finished the Flame Bearer. This was one of the best series I've ever read. I am hoping you can continue it somehow, even if it means the following stories are about Uhtred's son or daughter, both also great characters.

I'm headed to the library to find another one of your novels. Keep up the excellent work!

Regards,

Charles Bronson

Two months and ten books later... i stood with Finan and Uhtred on that rock ledge with tears myself. It was such an amazing journey and all i want to say is, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for bringing Uhtred and his "Wolf Pack" into my life.
