Is there a TV series adaptation of Sharpe?
The Sharpe series was adapted into a popular British television series starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe. The TV adaptations cover many of the main novels, though not always in the exact chronological order of the books.
Are the Sharpe books connected to other Bernard Cornwell series?
