Re: Love historical fiction. Handel Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 07:10:57 PM
I really enjoyed Stephen R. Lawhead's series, the Pendragon Cycle and the Celtic Crusades, as well as two of his stand alone novels, Byzantium and Patrick, son of Ireland. The Pendragon Cycle feels a bit more fantasy than historical, but they're great reads.

Just read The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet a couple of months ago--totally engrossing.


Have you read his World Without End? If you enjoyed Pillars you should give it a go :)


I hope to soon!

Anything that you want to pimp, Elaine? Nobody pimps better than you do. *NM* Tashmere - 31/08/2009 09:37:30 PM 410 Views
Mr Elaine says he's the pimp, but never mind him and what he thinks. Elaine - 14/09/2009 01:37:22 PM 872 Views
