I mean, if I remember right, Denethor never even draws his sword, and yet he has one, beautifully crafted and decorated to character! Just astonishing...<br /><br />Historical drama always intrigues me. I do wonder how much of what I see on tv is researched, and how much is popular consensus on what a Tudor chose to encase his legs in!

We're not just the script-writer, but the director, the lighting-crew, the sound-crew, set-designer and costume-designer too - oh, and location scout!<br /><br />As you and Mary say - every little detail.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-16262002537388815502013-01-18T16:25:16.935+00:002013-01-18T16:25:16.935+00:00Indeed, Sue, but fascinating that everyone who goe...Indeed, Sue, but fascinating that everyone who goes will have a different take on it. And, yes, tiny! Like a different species.<br /><br />Good to know that we are in accord, Mary. I went to see The Hobbit last week - and re-read.

Not history but fantasy but every single item had to be fully imagined. And that's what I do when writing fantasy too.Mary Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06241989732624913706noreply@blogger.com
