The Christmas tale of Anne Boleyn: An Impression

While on Wattpad (I) came across a story entitled the Christmas tale of Anne Boleyn.  It is not a very long story.  That does not seem to matter.  The author has created a very convincing and realistic, believable character.  I found the story by looking through the SCI Fi user page on Wattpad.  It lists different types of stories under the common banner of science fiction.  It does a good job at putting different types of science fiction stories into their own lists.  There was a list for general science fiction, science fiction that took place in outer space, steam punk stories, and a list entitled “time and eternity” where I found this story.

Though this is not about Wattpad and its efforts to help users find content, this is about my first impressions of the story the Christmas tale of Anne Boleyn written by the username: EvelynDangerfield.

I really can’t tell you much of events that happened in the story, seeing how the whole thing is only four pages long.  Though what I can say is that the author does an excellent job of using facts of the time and uses them in a way that is relevant to her main character.  Anne Boleyn is struggling with the most important time of her life when King Henry is wooing her.  From reading the story you feel less like the author is dropping main events and important details to give you a sense of history and place.  What the author does is write from Anne’s perspective and filters the information from what she knows about and would be most concerned off.

From reading historical fiction books, many will simply insert historical facts like chocolate chips on a cookie.  They feel like they are there on the surface but are not a part of the DNA of the story.

If you enjoyed reading my impressions of the story I highly encourage you to seek this out on Wattpad.  Here’s a link to the story.
