Dear Bernard,

Your Grail Quest and Sharpe series have both thrilled and taught me a lot about european history.  I am hope my email quick.

My Q: In Historical Fiction, what “level” of events can readers typically consider as actual? I realize good HF is driven by dynamic fictional characters much of the time. I’m really asking about events like the Siege of Barajas in Sharpe’s Co.. Maybe, “How fictional, is your HF?,” is a better way to ask.

Thank You For Sharing Great Stories,
