Title: HISTORY AND THE NOVEL Post by: Brownie55 on February 02, 2009, 07:59:03 pm The posts about jean Auel got me thinking about many books I could think of where, although fiction, the historical facts teach you a lot while also giving a damn good read. Some stand out....
Edward Rutherford who wrote Sarum, The Forest, London, Dublin, etc fantastic reads full of history.
