Digby, I notice Cornwell didn't write the books in chronological order. Is it better to read them in written order or try and read in chronological order?
Chronological , all the way !

Start with "Tiger" and enjoy the guts out of them .
:)
Only 4 chapters in and I am liking it! I like Mr. Cornwell's writing style and he has done a great job of making Sharpe a likable character. I already hate a couple of characters and hope they get what is coming to them.

Easily my favourite historical series .
( although I will state his "Warlord" series about King Arthur is a masterpiece )
Does the TV series start with Tiger?

No
"Sharpe's Rifles"
( the book series starts ( non-chronological ) with "Eagle" . "Rifles" was written specifically for the tv series .
Sharpe's Indian adventures are from more recent books .
That said , in the tv series he does have post Waterloo Indian adventures which do poach from the books .
