Does anyone else enjoy historical fiction , and are there any other novels I should try - one I've been thinking about is the Julius Casear novels by Iggulden - are these any good? |
If you enjoyed
I, Claudius by Robert Graves try his
The Golden Fleece (US title:
Hercules, My Shipmate). I read this more than twenty-five years ago. I can't remember much except: it was an historical (i.e. not mythical) take on the Argonauts' voyage; I enjoyed it.
(I gave both titles, because my father's copy of the book bore the US one; I expect he picked it up at an airport over there.)
