"Through historical fiction, students can begin to visualize the sweep of history.
As
characters in historical fiction from many different time periods face and overcome their
problems, students may discover universal truths, identify feelings and behaviors that
encourage them to consider alternative ways to handle their own problems, empathize with
view points that are different from their own, and realize that history consists of many people
who have learned to work together"
(Norton, p.
523).
"Through the use of historical
fiction, readers are able to take a
field trip to a place and a time long
past and find some application"
(Hoffman).
