I had been trying for some time to find The Arthurian Legend in a modern form that I could actually read. Then a friend of mine - an avid Sharpe fan - told me about the Warlord Chronicles. I've almost finished Enemy of god and can't wait to start Excalibur. Thank you so much - I'm a pretty gnarled old guy but the Tristan and Iseult story brought a right lump to the throat and mistake. After Holden Caulfield, Derfel is my favourite character in all fiction. No doubt you are a very busy man so apologies for taking your time but not to thank you was not an option. Kind regards, John L

I have just finished the Saxon stories and can't wait for the new book in September. May I take this opportunity to let you know what pleasure your books have given me over the years and beg you never to stop writing. Louise Crehan

Hi Bernard, I have just finished watching the Sharpe DVD's and loved them but of course being an avid reader wanted to see if there were books about on it and hallelujah there are! I've just devoured the first three in quick succession and have my local bookstore sourcing the rest for me. Anyhow, I just wanted to fire off a quick email to say thanks for such great books and youve got yourself a new fan. All the best from Sydney Australia, Deb

Dear Mr Cornwell,thank you for letting me fight in many a battle with many of your heros. I've fought with them all Sharpe, Uhtred, Derfel, Nate, Campion nee Dorcas, Thomas and many many more. May you carry on writing such wonderfull historic masterpieces for many years to come. Yours Mark from Sheffield and the house of York.

Not a question but a comment: On 07 Oct 2005, a reader asked whether "anyone ever [has] made ... a concordance of your books." You answered, "Not that I know of. Probably best to wait till I'm dead, though." It's worth noting that a concordance of sorts has already started in wikipedia at . While this may not replace a dedicated scholarly effort, it will have to do for now. Regards, and thanks for your books. Bur.

I'm just writing to tell you your books are the best I've ever read. Thank you so much. Pete, age 16.

I'VE RECENTLY DISCOVERED YOUR BOOKS AND AM COMPLETELY HOOKED. NOT ONLY DO I ENJOY THE STORIES THEMSELVES, BUT I'M LEARNING ABOUT SEGMENTS OF HISTORY THAT WE JUST DIDN'T GET MUCH DETAIL ON IN HIGH-SCHOOL OR COLLEGE IN CLEVELAND. SATTELITE IMAGERY HAS ALSO GIVEN ME THE CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF THE SETTINGS YOU'VE USED. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH FUN I'VE HAD LOOKING AT THE CRECY BATTLEGROUND, OR GLASTONBURY TOR, OR SOUTH CADBURY HILL, OR TO LOOK DOWN AT WHERE YOU'VE SET GUENIVERE'S SEA PALACE AND SEEING WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE A STRUCTURE MAY HAVE STOOD AT ONE TIME. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S ALL FICTION, BUT IT SURE CAN BE FUN TO PLAY "WHAT IF". (MAN! I GOTTA GET A LIFE!) ANYWAY, THANKS FOR MANY HOURS OF ENJOYMENT. MIKE DAVIS

Hi! I am a Portuguese reader therefore I must have many errors. I want to say that I loved the book The pale horseman and that I want to say I want my mother to buy me the The Last Kingdom to know what happened to the Uhtred before coming to the Wessex. And also I have to wait for the translation of the last book of the trilogy to be able to read it. Jhonny

sir, I have read all your books to date, and I have found them really very good. I served several years in the merchant navy and reading was a primary form of entertanment, ['cept in port. I am now in my sixties and I still read just as much. So I would just like to say thank you very much for giving so much pleasure over the years, I think that your "Saxon Stories" are the best yet, and I wait with the quiet certainty that the next one will be as good if not better than your last, many thanks, your work keeps me quiet and content for hours, that pleases the wife, she also likes to read but not the kind of book you write. Glad really otherwise we would be arguing who was reading what! thanks again. please them coming. Alan

I just finished Lords of the North and devoured every page of it. When I bought the book, it was mentioned as the third part of a trilogy. Upon reading the historical notes at the end of the book, I see that Uhtred will be having further adventures. I am eager to continue this excellent saga soon. After reading The Grail Quest series, I have become an avid fan of your writings. Thomas of Hookton was, perhaps, one of the best characters that I have followed. I appreciate your work. James Watson
