Historical fiction has a great deal to offer as its readers and
devotees have always known. The time is ripe however for the
historical novel and historical picture book to be promoted more
emphatically so that many more are made aware of the delight and
learning to be found in the genre. The editors of this book invited
authors, academic writers and teachers to reflect on the nature,
scope, range and richness of historical fiction for children. What
is collected here provides an overview of the field, a
consideration of significant writers of historical fiction from the
nineteenth century onwards, a sense of the various historical eras
commonly explored (Stone Age to World War 2), a discussion of
commonly raised issues, themes and topics such as child labor,
slavery and migration, and a forum for writers to reveal their
insights into the writing of historical fiction. Julian Atterton,
Berlie Doherty, Michael Foreman and Philip Pullman have made
contributions. It provides evidence of children and students
engaging creatively with historical fiction.
