I love history, too, but it took a teacher who was actually interested in the storytelling to bring it alive for me. And who got all excited about a history-making event when it was announced over the loudspeaker at school. BTW, also love this particular series and am glad there's a new one.

She was 16, and wrote her impressions down at the time. I had a history teacher, returning (a bit drunk) from shore leave when the bombing started; he had many more stories of the war to tell. History has always been people to me leading me to read historical mysteries as well as history books and biographies. As long as writers keep writing wonderful History stories, I will keep reading them. Thank you for a wonderful post.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090434162244376007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-15874770680071833202018-01-06T16:18:48.336-08:002018-01-06T16:18:48.336-08:00Thanks, Camille!Thanks, Camille!Priscillanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-79533323635503011262018-01-06T08:40:57.044-08:002018-01-06T08:40:57.044-08:00Where was Priscilla when I needed her -- in high s...Where was Priscilla when I needed her -- in high school! She gives history a personal, expansive touch that is educational, entertaining, enlightening. I've been forced to abandon my disdain of history and for that I say, Thanks, Priscilla!Camille Minichinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701150885595400018noreply@blogger.com
