Hi Mr. Cornwell,

I recently discovered your books at my public library and am very much enjoying them (read Archer's Tale first, then Agincourt, and now Stonehenge). I love historical fiction and you do first rate research. I have a background in archeaology and used to do historical re-enactment so I appreciate this. I also love your appreciation for the archer's craft - I used to shoot (bare-bow traditional) but have had to give that up do to "archer's elbow".  :)

I see you live on the Cape. I love the Cape - pretty much grew up there every summer (camping at Nickerson State Forest) until the Cape just got too touristy and crowded. Although I still sometimes go in late September when the weather is still lovely and you can take dogs on the beaches.

Well anyway, I look forward to reading more of your books and I also appreciate your reading list on your website - I recently discovered interlibrary loan and am always looking for more stuff to read.

Hope you enjoy your summer. I will maybe on the Cape while reading one of your books.

Thank You Sir for your great work. I have read The Saxon stories and enjoyed so much the whole story, the way You describe the characters and how nicely You combine the plot and all the historical information together. Every time I finish one of Your books it feels like having to say good bye to an old friend and can not wait to get a chance to read more of the Story.
So, again thank You so much and best wishes from Finland!

Hi,
I am reading your Saxon Chronicles series. I just searched on the internet for good medieval books, and discovered your books. I will admit that I am not much of a reader. I read the first book and could not stop. There is so much detail and information in your books. I just finished "Sword Song" and about to start the next one.
I would love to see your book series in a movie.
I am a strong history buff, and I know the Saxon Chronicles are historical fiction books, but they cover majority history. I love how you cover both sides, not just the Saxons.
I just wanted to let you know, please continue to write. I have not read any of you other series, but if they are like this set I am not going to put it down.

Again thank you for the great books.

I am partial to UNABRIDGED audio CDs. I am listening, enthralled, to the new Agincourt CD series read by Charles Keating. He is EXCELLENT. I hope you will get him to read others of your books. I have scoured Barnes&Noble, AmazonUK and AmazonUS to find the audioCDs of the Saxon Kings series and the Warlord Chronicles, and found most of the unabridged ones as I can, though some are only available in abridged... I would encourage you to record as many of your books (past, present, and future) in unabridged versions, please. Take the splendid unabridged Agincourt as a model. It's awesome. Abridged=booo.

Just want to say that I love these books!  I bought "The Burning Land" from ASDA and then I soon discovered the other ones and bought them straight away!

Dear Bernard.
I hope you don't disapprove of my use of audio books, they're a great way to pass the time on long drives.  I'm currently nearing the end of Vagabond.
I just wanted you to know how much I admire your writing and historical military knowledge. I've found myself sitting in the car for 20 mins after I've reached my destination just to hear a chapter completed.
Wonderful.                                           Thanks, Donnie.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I would just like to thank you for all the reading pleasure that you have given me over the years. In my early and formative years I was enthralled by the C.S. Forester - Hornblower novels. After reading them literally to destruction, my subsequent years were mainly filled with Douglas Reeman/Alexander Kent. (I couldn't really handle Patrick O'Brian). The Bolitho series were enthralling but the last 5 or so books certainly lost their way, and my interest. But then I found Sharpe; Thomas Hocton, Uthred, et al. Thank you again!  P.S. I too can remember the blond fly half racing across the rugby field.

I have just finished the last Sharpe book. I have read all of them even the small hard to get books. I have followed Sharpe through all of his adventures and have learnt so much along the way. Because of your books I have branched out to read many other authors and have a great respect and appreciation for Wellington and many other historical characters of their time. You are truly a gifted writer and an inspiration to me. Thank you

After 6 or 7 of your books,  The Last Kingdom seemed significant.  It is written better,  an intersting context of both the danish and english (?) through Uhtred.  Wonderful,  simple story.  most  enjoyable.

Dear Mr Cornwell,

Just finished your excellent "Death of Kings" and eagerly await the next installment.
I was introduced to your work some five years ago and have now read just about everything you have published. I did have a question about the Thomas of Hookton series but now have the answer I was looking for from your excellent questions and response page on your website. So I just wanted to say thank you for the books and how you have filled many boring hours travelling to and from London on the train.

Kind Regards
Steve

PS I do however have one complaint, you keep making me late for things, especially work, as I can't seem to put your work down. (Thanks again.)
