Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just want to tell you that I love the Saxon stories and Uhtred is one of my favorite characters. I enjoy reading the books, but have also found that the books on tape are read by a wonderful actor who can enliven my long distance drives and prevent road rage. I am an otherwise peace-loving woman of 61. I hope you will continue the Saxon stories. I am almost done with Death of Kings, and eagerly await another wonderful story! Thank you! Lila

Dear Sir I have just finished "the Fort", what a truly great book! I am an officer within the Norwegian armed forces, and this book really took me as a "storm", I didn't know the story about Penobscot from earlier, so for me the outcome was uncertain nearly right up to the end!I truly felt sorry for Peleg Wadsworth, he wanted to make a great change, but did not get the right support. Brigadier McLean, you really managed to "give" us in a very interesting way, a proper officer he was! My daugthers gave me the Fort and Azincourt, even from another period of time, I will start immediately, and Sir, I can't wait. Thank you for giving us this great pleasure Sir! Kind Regards Mr. Jone Myhr Erichsen (Norway)


Q

Dear Mr Cornwell Firstly I would like to thank you very much for The Sharpe series and the Saxon Stories. Although I never read the Sharpe books i thoroughly enjoyed the TV series and have them all on DVD. As for the Saxon Stories I have read all of them and enjoyed every single one so thank you. The series I have most recently stumbled across is the Starbuck Chronicles and I am enjoying them as much as everything else however I am now coming to the end of Bloody Ground and have discovered there is not yet another book. I know from reading your comments on your website about the series that you get asked this constantly but PLEASE write some more I am 18 and leaving school this year and I need something new to occupy my attention after my A-Levels. Thank you very much for the Sharpe Series, The Starbuck chronicles and the Saxon stories. Ned Rae


Q

I absolutely love the Saxon series!!!! I have studied English history but these series of books just makes me want to learn more. I just finished Death of Kings and am glad Uhtred is not gone. I just wish that you could write faster!!!! It takes less time to read and finish a book than it takes to write one. Keep up the excellent work!!!

Good Morning, Sir Cornwell, I'm a Brazilian fan and I've just wanted to thank you for your books! As in Brazil the books in general are a bit expensive, I can not buy all at once, but I have already finished The Grail Quest, Azincourt, Stonehenge, The Arthur Books and I' m now reading the second book of Sharpe. I've just wanted to thank you for having created characters like Sharpe, Derfel and Thomas that are simply amazing! Thank you very, very, very much! Marianne


Q

Dear Mr.Cornwell, I never used to have any interest in history, but last year when I was getting suspended from school for smoking cannabis I had some time to read. Honestly I was originally using your book "The Last Kingdom" to pretend to read, because well I was only 13 last year and reading really isn't a teen's best interest. However I started to read it and fell for the use of actual history mixed with tales of your own that literally make you feel like you're in the story with the characters. I read all of the "Saxon Stories" and just finished the "Grail Quest" novels and now I've started reading "Stonehenge" and "The Winter King". Please never stop writing, because your books are the only ones that catch my interest and have actually got me through some pretty rough times. For this I thank you. P.S Can't wait for the new Saxon book!

I hope you'll keep reading! And thanks for taking the time to write to me.


Q

Dear Mr. Cornwell I have just finished all three Arthur books and I wanted to say thank you, for giving me three months of pure joy and happiness (I was reading one book per month). I discovered your work by accident. There was a book fair in my country and a salesman recommended to buy The Winter King because I told him I really enjoy mythology of any kind. I am writing to you from Serbia and besides Arthur books, The Grail quest is also translated to my language,and I hope to read it next. Sorry I am bothering you with this email, but I had to say thank you for your wonderful work. Your style is great and the way you told the story is simply unique. Now I have a new perspective on arthurian legend, and I really think your vision of it is very close to something that might have happened in Britain in fifth and sixth century. All the best wishes to you and to your family. Sorry if my English was bad. Greeting from Novi Sad,Serbia. Yours truly, Nenad

Thank you!


Q

Dear Mr.Cornwell It has been an absolute privilege reading your novels! My fondest memories of my dad was watching sharpe on itv then for him to tell me there was books!! At this time I was 12 but read every novel about that northern scally who was an outsider but climbed the ranks in a world where money rules (very similar to today's world). Yet you still write about the sane sort of people who even though they are not born into money they fight for honour and gold and I think it's just a fantastic and brilliant concept!! I just want to say there has never been an author like you to write about the fantastic and glorious history that surrounds the British isles. I come from a very religious and catholic background but even my father who quotes he walked into a church in northern Ireland in his army gear during the 70s has to laugh and agree (at times) with damning views on how corrupt the was and had been! U wrote your Arthurian and Grail quest novels long before Dan brown tried to single handedly bring the catholic church!! Keep up the great work and although I'm not an author myself please hurry and write a few more novels about Uhtred and then go on and write about the de shurlands (whom I'm an ancestor of). Keep up the great work and England needs you more than we need bloody Shakespeare (what a bore). Richard

Hi Mr. Cornwell, A friend recommended "Redcoat" to me. I am currently reading and enjoying it! That is my favorite era in history! Janeen Dodds Indianapolis, Indiana

A few of writers haven't the simplicity that you have with your fans! I really wanna like that a day you come to Brazil, is a good country and you have a lot of fans here! Thanks for all!
