Bernard Cornwell was born in London, raised in Essex and worked for the BBC for eleven years before meeting Judy, his American wife. Denied an American work permit he wrote a novel instead and has been writing ever since. He and Judy divide their time between Cape Cod and Charleston, South Carolina.
Praise for THE BURNING LAND: ‘Cornwell draws a fascinating picture
of England as it might have been before anything like England
existed’
The Times Praise for AZINCOURT: 'This is a magnificent and gory
work' Daily Mail 'The historical blockbuster of the year' Evening
Standard ‘If Bernard Cornwell was born to write one book, this is
it. No other historical novelist has acquired such a mastery of the
minutiae of warfare in centuries past’ Daily Telegraph ‘A runaway
success’ Observer Praise for Bernard Cornwell: ‘The
characterisation, as ever, is excellent…And one can only admire the
little touches that bring the period to life. He can also claim to
be a true poet of both the horror and the glory of war’ Sunday
Telegraph This is typical Cornwell, meticulously researched,
massive in scope, brilliant in execution’ News of the World ‘He’s
called a master story-teller. Really he’s cleverer than that’
