Just finished the Sharpe series, can’t wait for Lords of the North to arrive and I’ve bought the Grail series to tide me over until it comes. Growing up on the Cold Harbor battlefield and being the product of the Virginia school system, my knowledge of English history was limited. (But, I could take you to any of the 13 Civil War battlefields around the city and talk all day, I went to Lee-Davis High after all). Your novels have really peaked my interest. While browsing through the book store one day I found a copy of Winston Churchill’s “The Birth of Britain”. I thought it was a fantastic introduction to British history and a great resource for anyone that wants to tie together the time line between The Warlord, the Saxon, and the Hookton series. I was also surprised at how readable Churchill’s style was. Are there any particular histories you would recommend, to give an overview of English history, especially the Napoleonic era? I have loved all your novels I have read to date and look forward to all the ones left to read. Sincerely, Jay Green Atlanta, Georgia
