Historical fiction is as popular today as it was at its birth in the 19th century. The imaginative recreation of a period beyond living memory has a power to evoke the past better than any history textbook. The stories in this collection travel in time from pre-history and the ancient Greeks to Regency bucks and Edwardian sufragettes, by way of medieval Europe, the English Civil War and the French Revolution.
