It sounds great! <BR/><BR/>I enjoy stories with a real historical event, but I want the author to feel free to change things a bit to accomodate her characters. The perfect example of this is The Tudors on Showtime. I know that the events on the show are not historically accurate 100% of the time, but the changes make it alot of fun to watch.

With one or two exceptions, I read mostly historicals these days. I love the descriptions of how people used to dress, eat, entertain, etc. in the past. A real historical event as the central theme is just icing on the cake for me. LOL.
