Mark Twain is quite brilliant in his books about Joan of Arc and King Arthur (Connecticut Yankee). Both public domain, so free downloads ... and terrific historical reads, beautifully researched. I re-read them both on a 505 over the past week or two and was reminded of just how great a writer ol' Sam was. And, of course, the contemporary Huck and Sawyer now become historical fiction. Unusually for a Brit, I guess, I've always been more than impressed by the best of American fiction. The US has stars (of yesterday and today) to rival anyone in European literature. Hoots. Neil
