Praise for The Pale Horseman:
'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year,hail,rain,snow,war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.'Daily Mail
'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.'Observer
'It is stirring stuff,and few writers are better qualified than Cornwell to do justice to the excitement of the times...Ninth-century Britain and a master of storytelling - it is a marriage made in heaven.'Sunday Telegraph
'Cornwell's mastery of historical sources and his aptitude for battle scenes is well established...the language,and particularly the dialogue,is raw and unarchaic,rich in insults and Anglo-Saxon expletives.'Times Literary Supplement
