Many of the librarians here at the DPL are avid fans of historical fiction. We noticed the same trend and have developed several bookmarks of recommended historical fiction. Make sure to come in and pick up "If You like English Historical Novels", "2006 Best Historical Fiction" and "Henry VIII and Company". You can also find our bookmarks at our wiki; the Rabid Reader.
