Overview: Cornwell was born in London in 1944. His father was a Canadian airman, and his mother, who was English, a member of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. He was adopted and brought up in Essex by the Wiggins family, who were members of the Peculiar People, a strict Protestant sect who banned frivolity of all kinds and even medicine. After he left them, he changed his name to his birth mother’s maiden name, Cornwell.
Cornwell was sent away to Monkton Combe School, attended the University of London, and after graduating, worked as a teacher. He attempted to enlist in the British armed services at least three times but was rejected on the grounds of myopia.

Sharpe’s Christmas: Two Short Stories (Richard Sharpe #13):
‘Sharpe’s Christmas’ contains two short stories. In the title story Richard Sharpe, commanding the Prince of Wales’s Own Volunteers, finds himself in a high, hard place with an enemy brigade on one side and a desperate force of Frenchmen fleeing their defeat in Spain on the other.
The second story, ‘Sharpe’s Ransom’, is set in France, after the wars, when old enemies take Sharpe’s woman and child hostage.
Sharpe’s Skirmish (Richard Sharpe #19):
Richard Sharpe and the defence of the Tormes, August 1812
It is the summer of 1812 and Richard Sharpe, newly recovered from the wound he received in the fighting at Salamanca, is given an easy duty; to guard a Commissary Officer posted to an obscure Spanish fort where there are some captured French muskets to repair. But unknown to the British, the French are planning a lightning raid across the River Tormes, and they reckon the obscure Spanish fort, which guards an ancient bridge across the river, will be lightly guarded. Sharpe is in for a fight.
