Hello Mr Cornwell,
I have a great interest in the development of the USA since the days of the first settlers and an especial interest in the Civil War.  I have read many accounts (and visited the sites) of Antietam but your 'novel', for me, has put flesh and blood and life into the characters (real or imaginary).  It provides what no historical account to date has managed - real feelings.  Many thanks indeed.

Regards,

Joe Quinn

Hello Mr Cornwell, I have collected every book you have written and thoroughly enjoyed them all.  I would love to see the Arthur collection transformed into a movie or a mini series like the Sharpe books.  For me your description of Arthur and the time in which he lived is the most realistic and believable I have ever read.  I think there was an Arthur character and that he was not king because as you say in the books he who commands the spears has the real power.  Please excuse my typing as I am just being trained up by my 13 year old son!  I look forward to every new book that you write.  The story of Arthur has been done so many times but I think after the success of the Sharpe novels/series your retelling of the legend of Arthur and the heroic and loyal Derfel would be a breath of fresh air and put some of these limp (for want of a better word) versions to shame.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Just finished..'Death of Kings'... Brilliant...The Uhtred stories would make a great TV series or film franchise...if they would stick to your storyline.  Many many thanks.

Bernard,  thanks for the plesurable reading over the years.I started reading  the Sharpe books on a wet weeked in the Lake District with the family many years ago and I am an avid fan who anticipates with great pleasure any new book from yourself. I have just started re-reading the Sharpe books again and still get sucked into the story straight away. My two boys are avid readers of your works. Keep up the stirling work.
Thanks again for such enjoyment.

Hello Mr. Cornwell.
my name is Maxwell Cane and I am a 24 year old oil refinery worker from California. I just finished reading Agincourt today and I finished Stonehenge last week. I have also read Lords of the North, The Last Kingdom and Winter King.  I have greatly enjoyed each book and I think you are by far the greatest historical fiction writer to ever string a sentence together. Thank you so much for writing these books. I will continue to buy them and read them. Have a great day sir.

I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy the Saxon Tales (Well, I've read several of your other series as well!).  Lord Uhtred has become my favorite character in all my reading and when he sets the shield wall and the battle starts, you can just feel the intensitiy in your descriptions.   I'm ready for book 7 of this series.....thank you for sharing your wonderful gift.

Back in the 1980s I read many of Alexander Kent's stories of the British Navy in the French Empire & Napoleonic eras.  Also CS Forestor.  They were engaging and often informative.  I said to friends who shared my interest "Somebody should write similar books about men in the land Army."  Well, you did!  Thank you.

Mr. Cornwell,
I have been a fan of yours for about 15 years now, and have read all but three of your books.  So you can imagine my surprise when I happened to be in a grocery store in Kosovo today and stumbled upon the second two books of the Archer's tale trilogy in Albanian translation.  I don't speak a word of Albanian, but I purchased them anyway, thinking it would be an interesting way to start to learn the language.  Now I just need to shop around until I find Arlekini to complete the set.

The Bloody Ground - It may be that my copy is a few years old and subsequent publishings have been corrected, but in the 'Historical Note' you wrote that "Close to 23,000 men died in that one day".  I think that you meant that there were 23,000 casualties ( dead, wounded, missing) with about only (it feels terrible to use the term 'only')  4,000 of those having died that day.     It is weird, they are very well written, but I don't enjoy these novels as well as the Sharpe novels.

Just wanted to let you know, you got a new fan. I honestly disliked reading since I was a child due to it being forced on you. We had to read books (total of 12) for school in Holland and I never enjoyed it. Haven't read a book since school (10 years) and during those years have picked up 2 books and couldn't get past the first 10 pages due to getting bored. Then I bought Azincourt. Couldn't stop reading. After that I started on the stories of Uthred and finished the 1st one and started on the Pale Horseman.

I have a passion for History, and a newly discovered passion for your books. Thanks
Marcel
