Can you recommend some good English royalty historical fictions?

The theme of identity is often present. Royalty had to maintain a certain image, like in 'The King's Speech' where King George VI had to overcome his stammer to present himself as a worthy king. Another important theme is political intrigue. Fictions like 'I, Claudius' (though not strictly English but with similar elements) show how plots and counter - plots were common in royal courts. And family dynamics is also a theme, as seen in stories about royal families where family members could be both allies and rivals.

Well, 'Water Margin' is also a well - known China historical fiction. It tells the stories of 108 heroes on Liangshan Marsh, their rebellions and their loyalty. And 'Journey to the West' is a classic too. It follows the adventures of Tang Monk and his three disciples on their journey to get scriptures from the West, with lots of magical elements based on Chinese mythology.

Sure. 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a well - known one. It's set in the Prohibition era and shows the wild parties and moral decay beneath the glitter. Another is 'Boardwalk Empire' which vividly portrays the Prohibition - era Atlantic City, with its gangsters, politicians, and the chaos that came with the ban on alcohol.

There is also 'The Rose Garden' which might be relevant. This historical fiction often delves into the lives of characters in a particular historical period, perhaps in a small European town, and how the presence of a rose garden weaves into their stories, their relationships, and the overall historical context.

Sure. 'Maus' by Art Spiegelman is a great one. It tells the story of the Holocaust in a unique graphic novel format, using animals to represent different groups. Another is 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi, which gives an insight into life in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution.

I would also suggest 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison. While it's a complex novel that delves deep into the history of slavery in America, it also has elements of the supernatural. The ghostly presence of Beloved haunts the characters and the story, and Morrison weaves a powerful narrative that combines historical fact with a ghost - like mystery.

Sure. 'The Arranged Marriage' on Wattpad is a great historical fiction. It's set in the Victorian era and tells the story of a young woman forced into an arranged marriage and how she navigates through the strict social norms of that time.

For romance novels, 'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon is great. It combines time - travel with a passionate love story. Another one is 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks, which is a very touching love story. As for historical fiction, 'Hilary Mantel's 'Wolf Hall' is excellent. It gives a vivid picture of Tudor England. 'All the Light We Cannot See' by Anthony Doerr is also a wonderful historical fiction set during World War II.

One great historical fiction related to Lincoln could be 'Lincoln: A Novel' which delves deep into his life and the events of his time. It might have been around in 2012. Another could be some short stories or anthologies that were published around that time that centered on Lincoln's presidency and the Civil War era.
