L. Sprague de Camp has written some good (and funny) historical fiction.

My husband's introduction to L. Sprague de Camp was reading his non-fiction book _The Ancient Engineers_ for a history class. He was surprised to find out that the author of his favorite history text also wrote science fiction and fantasy.
