ReX Posted September 6, 2017 For those not in the know, Bernard Cornwell is a British author, who specializes in historical fiction. In other words, he writes about actual historical events, but weaves fictional characters into the events. In this way I get to enjoy the character interplay & drama, while also learning about the relevant history. Most recently, I read his 10-volume Saxon Stories, which covers the historical period during the Danish invasions of Britain in the 9th and 10th centuries. He has also written about Stonehenge, Arthurian Mythology, a Grail Quest, the Battle of Agincourt, and the Napoleonic Wars. As an added bonus, Cornwell has written an excellent historical documentary (non-fiction) on the Battle of Waterloo. 0 Share this post Link to post
