68 Best Historical Fiction Books Ever Written

"You'll find here novels that explore periods as well-trodden as the two World Wars, and ones as rich as China's Ming Dynasty.
Through these historical fiction books, you'll meet Henry VIII, William Shakespeare, Madame Tussauds, Abraham Lincoln, and so many more.
You'll spend time in a French asylum, on the wide plains of Argentina, and the battlefields of Ancient Greece.
These are some of the best historical fiction books you'll ever read; books that will take you across so much of this world's rich, vibrant, and tumultuous history."
