Read what <a href="http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/design-and-decor-0" rel="nofollow">the Monticello web site</a> says about it. Jefferson's office sounds modern,doesn't it?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.suzanneadair.typepad.com" rel="nofollow">Suzanne Adair</a>Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624472793275282926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-14673871320288639632011-10-19T15:31:08.492-04:002011-10-19T15:31:08.492-04:00Thanks, Susan!

While historical fiction isn't always factually correct, the advantage it has over rote memorization of dates and names is that it instills enthusiasm in the reader. The reader may then be inspired enough to conduct personal research. That's how history comes alive, and the black and white vanishes.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.suzanneadair.typepad.com" rel="nofollow">Suzanne Adair</a>Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624472793275282926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-83719828099872665562011-10-19T10:09:29.904-04:002011-10-19T10:09:29.904-04:00Historical fiction taught me more than school ever...Historical fiction taught me more than school ever did.

I'm looking forward to reading Suzanne's historical novels. <br /><br />When I studied history at school, I was told to read around the subject, to read historical fiction. Purists will argue about fact vs fiction but my reading helped me picture historical figures and periods so I have a lifelong interest in the way we were. So often I hear students say history is boring and they can't wait to stop reading their textbooks. I can understand that. Textbooks can be so black and white with good guys and bad guys.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.com
