Dear Mr Cornwell I would just like to say a huge thank you for your amazing literary skills. I'm just starting exams and the Grail Quest and the Saxon Stories are keeping me sane through 8 hour days of revision. I find that all the books combine pieces of knowledge but they are written so that they suck you into the story and I just can't put them down (except for revision books!). Thank you so much and I can't wait for the next book!

Mr Cornwell I just wanted to let you know how enjoyable I am finding the Sharpe collection of books they are fantastic, Many thanks for the happy hours I have spent reading them.

I am 4/5 of the way through The Pale Horseman. Your action scenes, your character development, your settings all pull me into the narrative. With my 1/2 Norwegian ancestry (including Norse and Swedish kings and Vikings) and my Welsh and English ancestry, I have scarcely been able to put the book down. I cannot wait to buy your other Saxon novels. I'm looking at the titles of your other Saxon novels, and I see the last one is "Death of Kings", which, I assume, tells of the deaths of Harold Hardrada, my ancestor, and Harold, the last Saxon king, later that same year, 1066, at the hands of another Scandinavian, the bastard William the Conqueror. Can't wait to read the intervening books.

Greetings..I am an avid fan of your books, especially the Sharpes series. I am presently on my second reading of the series. Today I came across something which puzzled me at first. One of the characters makes mention of seeing a "Sciadopitys verticillata" AKA Japanese umbrella pine. I thought it odd that this species would be found in Spain during the nineteenth century also the description of its shape in your book did not match the form usually associated with Sciadopitys verticillata.. After some brief research on the web I believe the tree mentioned should have had the Latin name "Pinus pinea" AKA umbrella pine or stone pine and is a native species to the Iberian Peninsula. Not a big deal , and I doubt many other readers would spot it but I know how accurate your historical details usually are and thought you might like to know. Have you any plans to add to the Sharpe Series ? If not I suppose I'll just have to wait a year or two and start with Sharpe's Tiger all over again. Best wishes Joseph

I'm glad that Stephanie Moore Hopkins posted the review of Folville's Law. Though I must confess that the review threw me for a loop initially. I thought this novel might be something like Garrow's Law, which I'm now watching on PBS in America. Something about British crime and courts. I clicked on the Amazon link and was surprised to find it was actually an historical drama of political intrigue from 14th Century England. Well, I love both kinds of stories. Perhaps I'll give it a go in the not too distant future.

Hi,I have been reading your books and Sharpe since 1992(I'm 46yrs) and I must say how much I love reading them.They have made my interest grow in the Napoleonic era to the point where I have quite a collection by famous authors.I have just finished reading 'the Fort'.Bloody good read.I have also read the grail quest and the Starbuck series but I do like the Sharpe series.Thanks for the great adventures as the Sharpe books started my interest in the Napoleonic era and so many real life adventures from that time.(see no book ideas etc..)John Brooks

Please, please, please more Saxon Stories!! I have never written to an author before, but I just devoured all 6 books over the past 2 week (would have been faster but I did have to work). Thank you so much. :-) Cheryl Cipollo

Thank you so much for the Saxon Stories. I am a teacher in Contwaraburg. My dog is called Alfeghe. I am a slow reader, but i will read your books in three days, and I feel guilty, as it takes so long to write. I have nearly finished Death of Kings and propose to go back to revise. Again Thanks, Sally-Ann Edlin

Mr. Cornwell, Heart felt thanks for your tremendous work. I have greedily enjoyed Saxon Stories, Grail Quest and Arthur Books. Such a fun way to learn something of our past, nature of people and society. Your skill amazes me, you have spoiled me. Thanks again. Nancy
