Some lovely ladies have put together a Sharpe cookbook. The proceeds will all go the the National Osteoperosis Society in England.
The official launch will take place in November. Bernard Cornwell has written the foreword for the book and contributed two recipes, the two producers of the Sharpe series and the director have contributed too. All the photos have been donated by either Jason Salkey, Picture Palace or Rex Features. All the Chosen Men have given recipes and Sean Bean himself has endorsed the book and given them their own signed photograph.

Favourite places
Robert Frost
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it's queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
West Woods
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow;
a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more:
it is a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
--From Macbeth (V, v, 19)
