The AHE team live and breathe history, but we all have our favourite historical periods and authors. We thought it would be fun for each of us to nominate one or two books that we would recommend for the general reader as well as high school students. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original article at [https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1529/12-best-historical-fiction-books-to-read/](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1529/12-best-historical-fiction-books-to-read/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - What would you like to know more about? - Have you come across a different take on this topic? - What surprised you most in this article?
