Especially because Anastasia was about, well, Anastasia and The Kitchen Boy deals with Maria (the body that was ACTUALLY missing.)<br /><br />Also, Anastasia was 1997 and The Kitchen Boy was 2004.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure Anastasia was based on that chick in the '80s that everyone thought was Anastasia.Cassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730406902174444302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417852593384043397.post-79048022539437913492013-06-12T20:18:39.329-04:002013-06-12T20:18:39.329-04:00CONGRATULATIONS ANNAPEG88!!!

There will be more details in a special Sunday post this weekend.<br /><br />I'll have to leave the first question to Cassy (I'm not entirely sure I've even seen Anastasia, and I haven't read The Kitchen Boy) but about defining historical fiction, my post tomorrow will deal with that in a little more detail.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608984274685928764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417852593384043397.post-9346170465705699102013-06-12T20:14:38.347-04:002013-06-12T20:14:38.347-04:00Was The Kitchen Boy the inspiration for the Dreamw...Was The Kitchen Boy the inspiration for the Dreamworks movie "Anastasia?" Just wondering. <br /><br />I also love historical fiction, so its hard to pick just one. Gregory's books are probably my favorites. Now, the question is, do you define historical fiction as fiction about a real life family/event, or fiction about a time period where the story is totally made up but details about the time period (such as clothing, language, character values etc) are based one truth? If the latter is correct then I must include Atonement and The Girl With the Pearl Earing as my other favorite books. AnnaPeg88https://www.blogger.com/profile/13952784947641221669noreply@blogger.com
