Hello Bernard,

Just a quick hello from a huge fan of your Last Kingdom series. I really enjoy how you capture the realism and harshness of the times for example the value placed on mail armor highlighting the importance of very limited resources. Uhtred is, as David Gemmell once wrote, a  man to walk mountains with. Hope to see you at a book signing next time you are in Liverpool,

Dave.

Have just finished reading The Flame Bearer - as gripping a read as ever...however, despite all the pleasure I have had from the Uhtred series I think this would have been a good place to stop. I was somehow disappointed to read that his story is unfinished - just don't ask me why!!

"This all sounds a bit unfriendly......"

Kind regards,

Cliff Dixon

Just a short E to let you know how much I enjoyed the book 'The Flame Bearer'...... I come from Oxfordshire and can relate to so many of the places in your books. Thanks for so many great reads, I have read the Sharpe series and all the Uhtred books and enjoyed them all. Thanks again.

Just wanted to say thanks for the worlds you have created and the stories you set out so well. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them all over the past decade.

Regards

Matt.

 

Hi.  My name is Stanley Fox.  I too am in the line of Uhtred.  I am related to Thorfin of Orkney islands cousin of Macbeth.  Thorfin Granddaughter married Gospatric who goes up the line thru Siward to Uchtred.  Cousin. No wonder you are so fascinated with history.

Greetings, Mr Cornwell from Knoxville Tennessee.

I have been an avid reader of your books for a decade and am currently attending the University of Tennessee. I made my cousin who lives in the UK mail me a copy of your latest book and I just had to congratulate you on what I consider your greatest work in a brilliant career. Thank you for sparking my love of history which someday soon I'll be teaching and also for always giving your best each and every book. I look forward to you somehow managing to top yourself once again.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Elliott

I took ill a couple of years ago and I'm limited in what I can do. I decided to assign myself some projects to keep my mind going. One project was to reread all of your books, by series, in sequence. I had always enjoyed them so much. I just finished the project! And a grand time was had. Just in case you are interested: favourite book: Azincount; least (sorry) Redcoat; favourite character: Thomas of Hookton; least (sorry again) Sgt. Hakeswill. I also read some of the books you recommended in your historical notes, such as Agincourt by Juliet Barker. There are many many authors around - far too many in fact. You occupy a higher stage. You are a storyteller, a weaver of tales that nourish the soul and imagination. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with me. Please enjoy good health

Dear Mr. Cornwell

I have just finished reading The Flame Bearer. I have read the whole series which I have so enjoyed. In fact, I have read just about everything you have written apart from The Sharpe Series.

I do hope that there is a hint from you at the end of Historical notes that there could be more about Uhtred in the future. I hope so and I shall keep an eye out for your next publication. Thank you so much for hours of such enjoyable reading.

Kindest regards,

Sandra Foulkes.

Dear Mr. Cornwell

The Flame Bearer - You have done it again, what an exciting book. I had to use up all my will power not to flip to the end to see what happened. So as not to give it away all I can do is quote that wonderful Irish man Finan " You tricksy bastard "
