While I love the pre-Civil War era, and wouldn't mind for one day putting on a hoop skirt and dancing at a party, there is another era which has intrigued me: The Tudor Years.
My first introduction into this era was the book Anne of a Thousand Days. And Philippa Gregory's The Constant Princess shows a different side of the story.
Now maybe some of the facts were fudged, for romance angles, but I rather like the image of the conniving Henry, not the cold, calculating Anne of The Other Bolyne Girl.
So therefore, I would love to be a fly on the wall, or at least a lady-in-waiting, to see first hand what REALLY went on between Henry VIII, Katherine, Anne, and her sister Mary.
Another time I'd like to be the 'fly on the wall' would be at Elizabeth's court, to see what exactly transpired between her and Lord Dudley, and why she had Mary Queen of Scots executed. Was it all Lord Cecil?I'm only halfway through this book, and can hardly wait to get back to it.
And as always, I would sorely miss my A/C, indoor plumbing, and modern conveniences.
If you could travel safely through time, what era would YOU visit? My hubby rather likes the Star Trek world!

Oh I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the Tudor era.
Actually, I'd like to have a Magic Mirror, like in Beauty and the Beast! Wouldn't THAT be awesome? LOL!
