Historical fiction tells a story that is set in the past. That setting is usually real and drawn from history, and often contains actual historical persons, but the principal characters tend to be fictional. Writers of stories in this genre, while penning fiction, attempt to capture the spirit, manners, and social conditions of the persons or time(s) presented in the story, with due attention paid to period detail and fidelity. - WikipediaAnother one! Now, I don't know about you, but I just love historical novels. If done well, they give you a real flavour of the time and place in which they're set - which is something you just don't get in books set in the modern world, because it's taken for granted that we all know what a Blackberry is, and that you access the internet through your computer. Historical novels bring a whole new dimension to the story, which is something I really love.
