Description
Historical fiction has a great deal to offer as its readers and devotees have always known.
The time is ripe however for the historical novel and historical picture book to be promoted more emphatically so that many more are made aware of the delight and learning to be found in the genre.
The editors of this book invited authors, academic writers and teachers to reflect on the nature, scope, range and richness of historical fiction for children.
What is collected here provides an overview of the field, a consideration of significant writers of historical fiction from the nineteenth century onwards, a sense of the various historical eras commonly explored (Stone Age to World War 2), a discussion of commonly raised issues, themes and topics such as child labor, slavery and migration, and a forum for writers to reveal their insights into the writing of historical fiction.
Julian Atterton, Berlie Doherty, Michael Foreman and Philip Pullman have made contributions.
It provides evidence of children and students engaging creatively with historical fiction.
