I was gone too long again.  I feel like I missed so much!  First of all, hello @lin! 😀 Welcome!  That’s a very interesting selection of time periods/places you like!  Have you read the Viking Quest series by Lois Walfrid Johnson?  And how old are you? (If you’re willing to say.)

I see the confusion about @valtmy was resolved, but I’m here to back her up anyway, saying that however much I insist on historical accuracy most of the time, I also adore parodies.  And parodies need not be historically accurate as long as they are aware they are historically inaccurate. 😉

@selah-chelyah @ashira @northerner I’ve always thought Henty’s books were pretty historically accurate.  He was, after all, a correspondent journalist who was on-site at many of the battles he wrote about, and for those he wasn’t, well, I presume that as a journalist he would have held himself to a pretty high research standard.  However, if anyone has historical inaccuracies in Henty’s books they’ve noted and would like to point out I’d love to hear about them!
