One of the best is 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel. It offers a vivid portrayal of the court of Henry VIII. Another great one is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen which, while also a love story, gives a wonderful look at the social hierarchies and mores of the English Regency period. 'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens is also excellent. It's set against the backdrop of the French Revolution and shows the contrast between London and Paris at that time.

Definitely Robert Graves with 'I, Claudius'. He manages to bring Roman history to life from a British view. Elizabeth Gaskell is great too. 'Wives and Daughters' is a fine example of her ability to depict 19th - century England. And John Galsworthy with his 'The Forsyte Saga' that spans generations and shows historical family and social changes.

One great example is 'Goodnight Mister Tom' by Michelle Magorian. It shows the homefront experience through the eyes of a young evacuee. The story beautifully portrays the relationship between the boy and the old man who takes him in during the war. It also gives insights into the changes in the rural areas due to the influx of evacuated children.
