I agree Lily that reading historical fiction boosts interest - as a teenager it certainly did mine.

There were great people written in the history yet remained mystery because of their unsolved and not revealed death cause. Literature use to give some theories and critics about some certain ideas which gives prior information about their end. I do believe that there were nice reason why they aren't taught in public.Lily Floorhttp://www.thescotlandkiltcompany.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-17434164226261430862012-07-19T14:42:45.748+01:002012-07-19T14:42:45.748+01:00Lovely post , Theresa and the book looks great.

Btw, I've just read A PLACE OF GREATER SAFETY by Hilary Mantel and in that, one of the women characters has Marie, as she calls her as a kind of heroine/icon. A picture of her execution figures quite large in the text. A very fascinating character.adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826710558292792068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-58212173926712352092012-07-19T11:21:50.061+01:002012-07-19T11:21:50.061+01:00Hi Theresa.

It's one I'll be putting on my reading list for sure..<br />I write historical fiction and I'm hoping to have my novel finished later this year. Really enjoy following this blog.

If anyone is interested, there's a series of posts on the background that made Mary and other monarchs what they were, over on Jordyn Redwood's medical-themed blog. Here's one link, to the Mary post: http://jordynredwood.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/histrionic-fit-33.html<br />The web site is largely aimed at writers who want to know how to hurt their heroes accurately.Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
