Learning history through historical fiction books instead of text books is a wonderful idea. I remember how boring my history text books were in school. When presented with just facts, history can seem flat and lifeless. If I could have seen how different events or conditions effected a character that I may have identified with I would have remembered a lot more. It might have brought history to life and made it seem more "real" to me. Which is kind of funny because the strait facts are more real that the fiction mixed with the facts
