I know one historical author who puts <i>trap facts</i> in her books.

There has to be a wonderful story there.<br /><br />I'd never heard of phantom Argleton, but now I've had to trawl the net for it, and it's incredible the amount of imaginative material people have come up with. I love the idea of an illustrated map, but you have to include a village green - and a pond with ducks.alberridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986443240923520466noreply@blogger.com
