Q

Dear Mr Cornwell I just wanted to say, thank you. Everyone in my family adore your books and I am trying to make Azincourt last - never want to get to the end of your books. Really, really looking forward to the fifth Anglo Saxon chronicle!!!! Yours, Adele Davydaitis PS being Cornish born and bred, delighted to see that you own and sail a Cornish crabber.

I wish I was able to get a little more use out of it this summer - hopefully, once the theatre season has ended!


Q

I just wanted to thank you for... well, being and writing. You are one of my favorite authors and I quite selfishly wish you many happy and productive years to come :) Best, Dmitry.

Ah, Bernard, just love your message. God help us, it is just typical of the public wanting a piece of your shirt, your mind, your energy. I write now, after reading your works for years, because I noticed some books do not mention the thrillers, and I was halfway through Stonehenge when I got the dreadful feeling that you did not write Wildtrack or Stormchild after all, though as it was midnight on a freezing cold night I pressed on with reading rather than jumping onto the net. Well, of course you have that honour and I must say even a small mention of the sea in any of the books presents with such authority that I shake my head in shame that I doubted you at all. Well, my old friend, for that is how I know you, I thank you for the many years of adventure I have enjoyed within the covers with much more to come. I notice that Michael Joseph mentions the thrillers but HarperCollins does not. Interesting. And I must say that you have taken up the banner beautifully from James Clavell who declared that to be a successful writer the reader must want to the turn the page... yes yes yes. Cheers Roberta


Q

I have just finished Azincourt. I have read all your others, but none of the Sharpe books, and wait eagerly for the next one. Azincourt is the best by far of all the ones I have read and I couldn't put it down. The only down side is that I know have to wait for the next one. Regards John Lockwood


Q

This is just to say how much I've enjoyed all your books. I look forward to continue reading them. I particularly have liked your series on Dark Ages England.

Q

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy you work. You have taught me more about the history of England than all my history teachers. Reading your stories has brought history alive for me. Thank you Sandy


Q

Just been reading a couple of pages of 'Your Questions' and am very impressed at just how much time you take to reply to your fans' enquiries. No response required, Chris

Thanks! I enjoy it!


Q

Just..... Thank you Mr Cornwell! I am reading at some speed as I cannot put them down the Saxon Stories. I love your creation of Uhtred. In the 1950's when i was t school, history in English schools totally ignored the period from the demise of the Romans until 1066AD. I have spent ages learning about the so called "Dark Ages". A truly inspirational period when England was born. Your stories put real life into the period and the physical and intellectual conflicts that were formed then. Thank you again. John Whiteside


Q

I just wanted to recommend this National Geographic March, 1985 165, no.3 volume. It contains a Vikings article on their eastern conquest!

Thank you Lucas, I'll look for it.


Q

Dear Sir, Now that Sharpe just has his daughter to meet, presumably in South America, it would be good to see how Nate Starbuck ended the Civil War - perhaps becoming the clergyman he was once intended to be ! Although as fighting men the two characters are similar, I have always felt you maintained the integrity Of Starbuck and as an introduction to the American Civil War which we in the UK don't know enough about, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the four novels. When staying in Shippensburg, Pa. in 2003, I then knew what to visit and what to look for. Hoping very much as a retired Andrew, that you will complete the Chronicles. Yours faithfully Steve Goodall, RN retired.
