Your Questions

Some years ago Norton & Co, New York republished the Aubrey/Maturin novels of Patrick O'Brian in a compendium set on high quality paper and binding.(5 novels per book). Do you have any plans to do this for the Sharpe books?

I notice Warriors of the Storm: The Last Kingdom Series, Book 9 is in audio form in Britain. When will it be release in the US at places like Audible(Amazon). It tortures me to know the audio is around but can't get it. Please explain.

So, will there be a second season of The Last Kingdom? The show is phenomenal and I dare say, it does your superb writing justice.

Sir,

I am a big fan.  Remembering your efforts and the film's produced with Sean Bean as Sharpe.  I bought on line all of your work I believe to include the Medieval period works as well as your Revolutionary War book "The Fort" .  I have enjoyed them all while in Afghanistan and have decided to read them agin 4 years later.  My question (though you may have no knowledge of this) is will those who produced the Sharpe's Rifles saga ever continue the series?  Bean is a perfect age to play the older Sharpe and I know it would be terrific.

Evenso, I appreciate all you have accomplished and I can say I still enjoy your works.  Thank you for being the talented writer you are.

Dear Bernard

After browsing through the The Encyclopedia Of Military Biography By Dupuy, Trevor N.; Johnson, I noticed that in regards to Edward 1st it states that the Evesham campaign may be the greatest ever conducted on English soil. Considering all the wars and battles that have been fought in England down the ages, that's a pretty bold statement and  I wondered if you would agree with that ?

Also if you ever write another book on the Hundred Years war, would Nick Hook ever meet face to face Joan of Arc. I ask since Sharpe did meet Napoleon after all.

What do you think he would make of her and the fact that she like him also hears voices ?

Yours sincerely

Geraint

P.S There was this documentary on Joan and her death by the BBC done earlier this year that you and other people on this site might find interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGRgBJgjJ7o

 

Hi Bernard,

Here's a question to history fans and yourself. I volunteer at a local museum and we've got an Alice in Wonderland exhibition located in the first chamber. Those familiar with 'Alice through the Looking Glass' know the story and characters are based on the game of chess. However, I've heard that there was a variation in the rules: it could be that the king was once the most powerful albeit important piece, but this probably changed to the queen during Elizabeth I's reign. But I'm also wondering if, during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Bishop piece was perhaps relegated to the four corners of the board, thus 'limiting' their movement (influential power) from the beginning?  Any conclusion/feedback from Bernard or fellow history fans welcome!

Good day to you Sir.

I´m sure you get questions about a new Sharpe book and when it´s due pouring in everyday so I´ll not ask that but what I will ask is this.Do you have a general idea or plot somewhere in the back of your mind concerning dear old Richard if you do ever find the time to return to him ? or will you just go with the flow if and when you get started.

Thanks as always for reading my questions and most of all thanks for answering them, All the best to you and yours.

Hello, Mr. Cornwell.

Just a simple, and possibly stupid, question. Is there any chance for a book series about William the Conqueror or, maybe, James Wolfe? Would love to read a historical fiction about them.

I love your work. I can't even say how much your books mean to me, so I won't try.

Thanks for your writing.

I've read most everything you have written except Sharpe; I'd just like to say that the TV serialization of The Last Kingdom is as good as it could be bearing in mind the limitations of the media.

Is there any likelihood of Azincourt making it to the screen, large or small?
