Dear Bernard Thank you for telling us your main source for material on Lord Cochrane. Cochrane, by Donald Thomas is available again from Bluejacket books. It tells the story in a lively manner. It's one of the best biographies I have ever read. Thanks for the reference. --Ed

Dear Mr. Cornwell I have just started to read The Arthur Books -and what a story. Fantastic. I can almost see, smell and feel the characters. I have a special interest in this story, as we have some friends in Brittany, in a small village called Paimpont, apx. 40km west of Rennes. I thought I might be fun for you to visit this little place for a couple of reasons. 1. Its in the middle of the still exciting forest Broceliande. 2. It has street names like Rue Chevalier Lancelot Du Lac, Rue du Roi Arthur, Rue de LEnchanteur Merlin, and Rue de la Feé Viviane and has had those names for a very long time. 3. Merlins tomb is just 4km from the village, and the castle where he was supposed to have been born is apx. 10km from the village. You can find the village on Google Earth just search after Paimpont. Hope to see you in Denmark soon. All the best Lars Falk Knudsen, Denmark

I wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your books. I ran across the first one in a used book store in Corunna, Michigan, and it was obvious it would be right up my alley, because I am interested in British history before the Norman invasion (the book was one of the Alfred the Great series), so I ordered the rest of the series from Amazon, and I am tremendously enjoying it. I am currently reading "Lords of the North" .... This is the kind of book I like the most. I just got the first book of the grail series in the mail, and as soon as I finish this one, I will start on it.

Azincourt was a great read. I am not a prolific reader, but on a subject which means a lot like this I could not put the book down

Hi Mr. Cornwell, this is Alex Telander here from BookBanter. I interviewed you a couple of weeks ago for the show and I just wanted to let you know the interview is now up at: http://bookbanter.podbean.com.. If you could mention it at all on your site it would be much appreciated. Thanks again for doing it the interview, I had a great time! Alex C. Telander BookBanter

Dear Mr Cornwell. I just want to thank you for your wonderful books each and every one of them has been a pleasure to read. I have just finished Azincourt and it was a shame to actually finish it. Nick Hook, another great character and one who I could easily believe did live in that time. Thank you again and keep up the good work!

Dear Bernard, I love your books, and was delighted by Azincourt. However, your u-tube video has an American flag prominently fluttering in the background. Yes, some would say that old England is perhaps the 51st state, and I like you am an academic exile - but still - perhaps the stars and stripes in the background is a little too much... Best regards, Piers Coleman (Professor of Physics).

Thought this book was a great historical read with nice style. However, I did not think there was any reason to attack the Catholic Church and will never read another book of yours again. I will also be sure all my friends and acquaintances are informed of your anti-Catholic nature. Walter Knysz, Jr.

I read the Saxon Stories (the first three books) in Italian, of course. Amazing, fantastic. I entered in the IX century as well reading your books. I like History and especially the Dark Ages. You depicted this age very well. Uhtred is a beautiful hero, I like it, not boring. Very interesting also the description of the material activities and the religious matter, and of course, the battles. Your writing style, in the Italian translation, is very clear and linear. I read a book in few days(the night, till 1.30 a.m. before sleep). Thank you, and excuse me for my English. Gianmaria from Italy

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I've read many of your books and I absolute think and believe that they are wonderfully entertaining with humor and historical facts, which I admire and respect greatly! I can only imagine how much work goes into your books, but I truly love reading historical fiction. I just finished reading AGINCOURT/AZINCOURT and had a hard time putting it down. Again, I loved your humor and fluent writing style intertwined with the historical facts of this great battle, of which I honestly did not have too much knowledge of until I read your book. In all honesty, I love ancient and medieval history, and you bring it to life in your books in such wonderful ways, that I can almost believe I'm there, while actually learning historical facts! You are truly a wonderful artist within your craft and, to me, one of the best, and my favorite, authors of historical fiction of our time! Thank you so much for your books! Sincerely, Heike Winnig
