Historical fiction tells stories set in the past that blend factual history with fictional elements.

It allows readers to experience what life may have been like during different eras in a way that engages their interest and helps them better understand history. For historical fiction to be effective, it must accurately portray the settings, characters' beliefs and behaviors, events, language, and illustrations appropriate to the time period.
