Query: Excelency in Fiction

Not being a big fan of the so called "Historical Novel", I must admit that "The Long Ships" are an exception from the general rule that the authors of these will change history at need, and lie outragously at will. Frans Bengtsson did a god groundwork of the field - and of course writes marvously. A classic that can`t be read too many times, unless inactivity is used as a tool to spare the cover.
