Historical Fiction

In historical fiction, everything seems possible, normal, REAL but the setting is sometime in the past.
The characters might been fictional or based on real people. The setting could contain real events from history or just depict everyday life during that time period. The problems might seem like problems that you or your friends might have or they could be problems specific to that time period.

 

Historical fiction is exciting because it tells a story that could have happened or did happen in the past.
