Starbuck has reminded me of one of my favourite cartoons. It shows two Yankee soldiers lolling on a bank. One is saying ,"An' then we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea, an' it durn near drove me mad." With anticipatory best wishes.

Dear Mr Cornwell I have just finished reading "Azincourt" and wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. It is a true gift to be able to transport your reader to the hell of battle and weave in the supporting stories and I look forward to my next expedition into history. It truly saddens me that some children will not be able to use their imagination by reading stories like yours and I do not know where I would have been over 70 odd years without you and the other authors who have transported me to Desert Islands, Naval Battles and other similar excitement. Thank you John Sutton

I just want to say I am a huge fan of your books. I am an avid student of history and just recently discovered your works, and am delighted by the accuracy down to the detail you put into into them. The Arthur Books were excellent as I did a rather large piece on a 'historical' Arthur and then found that your story paralleled to a great deal what I found in my research.

Mr. Cornwell, A short note to tell you how much your books have meant to me over the previous ten years or so. I discovered your writing by round about means when I was deployed in the US Navy. As you might imagine, any distraction of a few hours was much welcome. I first came to Patrick O'Brien novels and then, via recommendations from Amazon, to the Sharpe novels in India. I devoured all of them. Many hours have been passed since then in the presence of Sharpe, Uhtred and King Arthur-all wonderful stuff though I am partial to the Warlord Chronicles (at least so far). So I thank you sincerely for being a friend and a story teller for all these years. Please continue with you excellent work knowing that I will continue to read whatever you write. And when my novel is published, I will send you a copy (not before per your request). Again, thank you for all of the entertainment over the years. Best Wishes, Patrick Huey Camas, WA

Dear Mr Cornwell, Nate Starbuck has been on a 13 year vacation, up until Sharpsburg, the Rebels have had it mostly their own way, Billy Blythe is still deserving of his forthcoming retribution and Pecker Bird is a long lost memory. We have not discovered why Lincoln is so revered in American history, and if Nate will ever discover Adam's death or tell his father what he really thinks of him! I could go on to the the girl Nate ends up with, and if he survives defeat and emancipation to name but a few unanswered questions. I've read everything else in your wonderful catalogue, and another 1 or 2! Starbuck books would make millions of people really happy! Kind Regards Carl Fox

Love your books, delighted to see fifth book in Saxon series coming in October, been waiting a long time - can't wait

I've been a fan of yours for quite some time, though it's only now that my own book is published that I realize how much authors appreciate letters from their readers. I've decided to start sending thank you notes to authors I enjoy, and I'm very pleased to start with you. I was introduced to your books through the Arthur series, which I loved, but each new series has gotten even better. I'm in the middle of the Saxon series right now, though I think my favorites so far have been the grail quest books; the Hundred Years War is one of my favorite periods of history, and you captured it fantastically. I was extremely pleased to see the Agincourt announcement on your website. It seems strange that it took me so long to finally start reading the Sharpe books, especially since I've watched and enjoyed many of the movies, but last week I took the plunge, starting with Sharpe's Tiger. I loved it. I tend to read four or five books at once, in many different genres (my own books are horror/thrillers), so it will take me a while to get through the entire series, but that just means I get to enjoy them for that much longer. Thank you very much for your books, and for the hard work you obviously put into them. You're one of my favorite authors.

I just wanted to say you are my favorite author. I first read "The Archer's Tale" and I was hooked.

Hi Bernard, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your novels, especially the Sharpe series and the Grail Quest books. They read extremely well. I like the plot twists and easy humor and dialogue that always feels authentic. I especially wanted you to know that your Sharpe novels helped me get through some very stressful times and I am very grateful for that. Please keep writing more great books. I'll definitely be looking out for them =)

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have just finished reading the Starbuck's having also recently completed Sharpe. Would you kindly consider more in the American series because they are certainly equal to Sharpie. I want to know what happens next!!! Kind Regards, Roger Ellis
