Dear Bernard, I meant to ask you this before. In Lords of the North, you have brilliantly included the wild dogs but you did not include Brida’s dog Nihtgenga in this story. Was that an oversight? I know this is a trivial point but like Beocca I am a real dog lover and I’m always interested in observing their inclusion in novels. The time frame is such that Nihtgenga could still be alive, I think. As always, thank you for this series. Ann Madonna
