Dear Sir, My name is Jens Thomasen and I live in Denmark at the town Hobro. I have just started to read your book ‘The Last Kingdom’ and I’m much excited for the book. It’s so interesting to read about my own country’s history written by an English man! In July my wife and I will be in England for nearly two weeks. When we are in England I will go to a bookshop to find ‘The Pale Horseman’. But what about the third book ‘The Lords of the North’? Will that be in the bookshops in July 2006? For your information I can tell you, that near my town we have a great Viking castle (Fyrkat). With the castle the town had build up a Viking town. The town has open in the summer time and in December there is a Saturday where the Viking town has open for the old ceremony of Christmas ‘winter solstice’ ( vintersolhverv on Danish) They also have this website http://www.fyrkat.dk/. I look forward to read much more from you hand With kind regards Jens Thomasen
