But Are They True?

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is intended to amuse and interest you. You'll meet many characters from history and see how they might have behaved in situations you're sure to know about. There are also murderers and victims - some real and some fictitious; there's 'Who Dunnits' and barbaric actions by ordinary people; there are unreal situations faced by very real characters. There are 20 different stories for you to choose and all as fascinating as each other. Was Benedict Arnold a traitor or a hero? Did William Shakespeare really desert his wife for a better life in London? How did Abraham Lincoln earn the name 'Honest Abe? Was Rabbie Burns as enamoured of the lassies as he was said to be? (I think you'll find he was.)The above are just a few examples to grip your interest - but there's much, much more to keep you glued until the end of each story. As for the answers to the above questions, perhaps you'll have a better idea after you've read this book.

Autorenporträt

Joan Pritchard has now retired from her life's work and finds writing an excellent challenge. Busy all her life raising a family and having a career, she now finds she has the time to indulge herself. In writing about historical characters, 'things that go bump in the night' and about weird and wonderful tales in general, she is quite happy with her lot. She has a vivid imagination but also enjoys the research needed to produce 'real people' from history, although she does indulge herself by filling their mouths with words of her own. Strange and Surreal Stories in this book will keep you both informed and mesmerised-and there are 20 of them. She hopes you will enjoy!
