WHY YOU NEED THIS ENCYCLOPEDIA
Was your character out on a lake that no longer exists and during an earthquake? Did your character come down with a disease no one where he lived knew the cure for, but the cure was known halfway around the world.? Was there a war going on in his country when he was 23 and which side was his family on? What about outlaws in their part of the world at that time; did they take from the rich and give to the poor? Was your character living in one country but die in another without ever moving? Can you believe the tradition that your character was a descendant of Genghis Khan or a princess in Russia or an artist in Spain?
Wow your audience with facts no one else has discovered and let them make you famous. A least to them.
No other book on historical research covers such a wide range of cultural differences for
