I have just read Azincourt and couldn't put it down. It was an excellent read and thank you for bringing the whole experience of medieval society and warfare to life! I will definately recommend this book to my lecturers and fellow students. Thank you again.

Took a little time but finally have the whole Sharpe's series and have read all of them. However now I have them all in order I am once again reading the whole series in proper order as one continuous story. I have also read Gallows thief .Stonehenge and Redcoat and the Starbuck chronicles.I did read the Grail series but did not enjoy then as much but Starbuck and Sharpe I loved. I am presently up to starting Sharpe's Company but the Battle - Company and Devil were in different covers by the time the bookseller was able to obtain them for me. I do a lot of writing from Police reports as a Police Officer two books one on WW 2 and the other on Police work biographical Chief of Police and served in the Ontario courts as a Court Officer to Justice. Now my hobby is in painting reading and doing a monthly newsletter for a veterans group My other reading is piling up until i get to the second end of reading Sharpe. To do this from one end to the other is a real delight.The TV series a few years ago got me into reading Cornwell. Thank you His Worship Jack Western

Mr. Cornwell, I have just finished reading The Winter King, and thoroughly enjoyed it. As a prospective history major, I devour historical fiction constantly (one of my favorite books is Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett). I like it when the fiction is realistic and historically accurate. I found The Winter King a very refreshing take on the Arthur legend, with characters I instantly liked, a compelling plot, and of course historical accuracy. As an aspiring writer, I also like to read well written fiction, of which this is a wonderful example. I am sure you get plenty of emails telling you pretty much the same thing, but I still wanted to let you know anyway. I can't wait to get the second book in the series and find out what happens!

Suggestion for a possible future book theme: BRIAN BORU 11th. C. Irish high king and the Battle of Clontarf. Quite a dramatic story and would, in some ways, complement your work on Alfred the Great. le dea-mehin, WRKenny

Hard to breathe. Getting dark, dizzy. Can't hold out much longer. Must have more Starbuck!

Dear Mr Cornwell, I would like to thank you for the works of art that are your books.I don't think I've ever enjoyed a book as much as the Sharpe series or Saxon stories. I do love the fact that your not afraid to get 'gritty' in your writing style. There is only one complaint I have to make and that is the Sharpe television series. I know you are probably not involved in the making of the the films I do think if any other of your books are made into films they should be better done. In your books Waterloo is described as thousands of men in the french columns ready to smash the thin British line,but in the series it looks like closer to thirty. I just feel that if any other books are televised they should do justice to the books. Thank you and I'm looking forward to the next Saxon Story!

I'm the historian for San Juan Island National Historical Park (Washington State), home of the "Pig War." Over the last 14 years I have become an Anglophile while writing three little histories of the event and the diplomatic shenanigans attendant to it. Along the way my late partner and bookseller handed me a copy of Sharpe's Regiment. Not only was I hooked on the series, but you also gave me some valuable insight into British military culture. So...I've had a good time and help at the office in the bargain. Your characters surmount the odds, boudoir or battlefield, and we all want that. My favorites: Sharpe's Trafalgar (hyperbole aside, rivals anything by O'Brian or Forester), Sharpe's Regiment (love you, Susan), Sharpe's Devil for the historical figures Cochrane, O'Higgins, and yes, Bonaparte (I keep loaning this one and end up having to replace it) and finally the Thomas Hookton books. Azincourt was also a splendid read, though I confess I bought it at Costco. Bravo and keep them coming. Ranger Mike

No response necessary. Thank you for sharing your talent!

I still have Azincourt to read yet so you have a bit of time! many thanks to your brilliant skills as an author and for helping me live a second life in history.

Mr Cornwell you have done it again. I picked up and put down Stonehenge a half dozen times. Knowing if I brought it home it would keep me up all night. It is my fault after reading the Sharpe's series and the Grail Quest series I knew I would not be able to put Stonehenge down once I started it. I look forward to Agincourt after this. I have always taken a personal interest in that battle because of my Birthday(my birthday is October 25th). Take care Your loyal reader, William
