Historical Fiction…what is it?
•Historical fiction takes an actual historical time period or event and builds a story around it, often using actual people from history along with other “fake” characters.
•The great part is that the author spends a lot of time and energy on researching that person, event or era, so readers get a real sense of what it was like during that time period.
