Historical Fiction Books

Historical fiction presents a story set in the past, often during a significant time period. In historical fiction, the time period is an important part of the setting and often of the story itself.

Historical fiction may include fictional characters, well-known historical figures or a mixture of the two. Authors of historical fiction usually pay close attention to the details of their stories (settings, clothing, dialogue, etc.) to ensure that they fit the time periods in which the narratives take place.

Author's Note THIS CHRONICLE of the Land of Prydain is not a retelling  or retranslation of Welsh mythology. Prydain is not Wales--- not entirely, at least.

But you'll never understand what inspired my Analysis of History. Never. You Priests have too much at stake to . . . Q: Try me. A: Try you? Well, Again . . . why not? I was caught by the shallowness of the common view of this planet which arises from its popular name: Dune. Not Arrakis, notice, but Dune.
