Dear Mr. Cornwell, wow, fantastic literature. I believe your Saxon books are what C.S. Lewis called “high literature”! I just finished The Pale Horseman in four days and could not put it down! may I ask two questions? one: The Pale Horseman makes numerous references to Norse religion and Christianity. By this are you historically suggesting that the English believe, but may not admit that they believe, that England was saved by a combined spiritual force of Norse gods and Christ helping them in battle?

and secondly, does any of the book reflect any of your own personal beliefs about what Jesus means to you? thank you so much for the good read! I am going to go back and look for the Last Kingdom, very excited about it and the Lords of the North! well done sir, well done! Matthew Ward
