Enjoy Historical Fiction Books?


Recommended Posts

I happen to be a book lover, historical-fiction being one of my favorites.

I was looking for a good book one day, so a friend recommended G.A. Henty's books to me.

I love the books, and the price.

You can get them on Ebay for $3 in American Currency. (unless you get one of the very rare books. :) I saw one that was going at $2,600 dollars, and it had 3 days left on it!)

My favorite one, being a medieval lover, is A Boy Knight.

It's about King Richard of England and the Crusades.

I 100% recomend it.

I even gave a copy to Nathanael.

He loved it...cough cough... didn't you Nathanael. *hint hint* ;)

Here is a link to an Ebay search:

My list of good "historical" fiction settled in ancient times:

- Rosemary Sutcliff: The Eagle Of The Ninth

- Simon Scarrow: Under The Eagle

- Simon Scarrow: The Eagle's Conquest

- Simon Scarrow: When The Eagle Hunts

- Simon Scarrow: The Eagle And The Wolves

(all of these belong to the "Eagle" series of Simon Scarrow, which is still being continued - they feature the adventures of the two legionaries Cato and Macro, who participate in the conquest of Britain in 42 AD)

- Hans Dieter Stöver: The Varus Case (German only, I think)

- Hans Dieter Stöver: Spartacus, Slave and Rebell (German as well)
