A novel encapsulates a fictional world in which the writer and the reader can immerse themselves.

Living in the World of the Tudors

If I could go back in time I'd love to visit the world of the Tudors. It would be fascinating to mix with the London crowds and watch King Henry VIII setting out on his summer progress accompanied by his favourite courtiers and his household servants.
