Historical fiction is a genre of literature that combines fictional elements with the backdrop of real historical events, settings, or characters. It involves storytelling set in the past, often drawn from real historical periods and featuring historical figures. Writers of historical fiction strive to create a vivid and accurate portrayal of the time period while incorporating fictional characters, plotlines, and personal experiences.

Another notable author of historical fiction is Philippa Gregory. Known for her captivating novels set in different periods of British history, Gregory brings the past to life with rich detail and complex characters. Some of her most famous works include "The Other Boleyn Girl," which explores the life of Anne Boleyn during the Tudor era, and "The White Queen," set during the Wars of the Roses.
