Before we actually get into these books I want to say that this list is by no means definite or comprehensive. There are tons of books that fictionalize real historical figures from different countries and time periods out there that are absolutely worth reading. I also want to add that some of these people are more well-known than others. Plus, a couple of them are not the main characters of the story. Rather, the main characters meet them in their journey. So without further ado, let’s dive right in! Love to read historical fiction? Take a dive into our archives for all kinds of quizzes, lists, and think-pieces on the genre!
