Have just finished reading ‘The Lords of the North’ – brilliant and gripping as usual! I take it there are going to be more in this series? It would be great to see this and the Arthur series filmed. Best regards, Ian
Sir, I’m a big fan of your work and always impatiently await your next publication. I do have one question. What are the chances of ‘The Saxon Stories’ ever being brought to life as movie or mini-series? It’s been a great series and I feel it would make a fantastic movie. John Harrell
hey. I’m reading the grail series for the 5th time now and have read the Arthur series a few times so far. Great books. Any chance of seeing either on any size screen? Your Arthur series is probably the best take I’ve read on that subject although the Mary Stewart series is very good but way different. I’m a home taught medievalist and I really like the characters. they are so of their time. A harsh brutal intolerant time. I’ve read some books in which the characters take a modern disdain of the church but Thomas Hookton et al are I repeat of their time. Holy veracity batman and compelling wow. Anyways keep writing and I’ll do my part and keep reading. thanks. Don
I have read your Grail Quest and Arthur Series. I’m just waiting for the release of the mass market paperback edition of the Saxon series. I hope that these books would be made into films or tv-series. Do you have an agent that tries to offer your books to film studios or do you just hope and wait for film studios to offer in buying the rights for your books?

Just finished Lords of the North. Thanks for another terrific read. Any chance of this series (or any of your others) making it to TV ala the Sharpe films? Good sailing!

Dear Mr Cornwell, I am currently reading “The Saxon Series”, which are the first books I have read by you, and I am thoroughly enjoying them. Coming from Winchester it is especially interesting to find out more about all the local history I ignored at school. I guess you are able to present it in a more entertaining way than the text books used to! Anyway, I was thinking that the books would make an excellent film or television series that would bring the stories and the history to a wider audience. Are you aware of any plans for a televised version? Yours sincerely, Rick Cuthbert (no relation to Saint Cuthbert of Holy Island as far I can tell)
Uhtred is quite possibly my favourite fictional character in existence. Your gift of conveying his constant battle with religious, political, and moral dilemas is brilliant. I am obviously in constant anticipation for October ’07. Although it is still early in the saga of “uhtred” and the formation of england, I was wondering if any interest has been shown in a film. I imagine with the story still being told that would be difficult, however I think this saga is perfect for the screen, if done with justice to the author, story and especially the character’s. I am greatful for your ability to take me back to the time of the danes and saxons. honoured, Akaash
please tell us when will the warlord chronicles be made into a trilogy of movies? , they would blow anything out of the water. Matt Campbell
