Though I was initially disappointed he did not read this particular version of the book, the voice actor was really good. He also spends part of his year up in New England, where he participates in Summer Stock. I'm not a blood and guts sort of girl, but these battles are fascinating to me.I've heard Mr Cornwell fo readings, and know that he is a skilled actor as well as a gifted writer. I remain amazed at Cornwell's amazing skill at depicting a battle, with accuracy and intricacy, holding this reader's interest for each slash and parry. This is no dry history book, but vibrates with earthiness that I have no doubt is grounded in reality of the time. While I never particularly really liked the main character, or any of the others, I still followed the story with great interest. You know it's been a first rate tour if your carriage is thus blessed.Cornwell once again brought the sights, smells, and sounds to life from the days of Alfred the Great, when the land was torn by war. In fact, carriage tour guides look forward to driving by his house, as he sometimes throws things from the windows as he creates his scenes. If you time it right, you can walk along one of our Charleston streets, and hear a madman ranting in an attic room - only it's not a madman, it's a literary wonder named Cornwell, ranting and raving in the creation of a scene for whatever novel he's working on. Bernard Cornwell lives part of his year here in Charleston.
