Author Caroline Busher on her literary influences, writing process, and how historical fiction can help to connect young readers to their past.
A beautiful Fede ring was found off the coast of Antrim which ring to a Spanish sailor who sailed aboard a ship called the Girona. This little ring had an inscription which read in Spanish ‘no tengo mas que darte’ which means ‘I have nothing more to give you’. This ring features in. The ring is on display in the Ulster Museum together with other historical artefacts from the Girona. Discovering these objects gave me a real insight into what life was like long ago.
As a historical fiction author, I am constantly in conversation with the past. Each time I climb the steps and enter my shepherd’s hut I feel as though I am stepping back in time. Entering a world that no longer exists. It is in that strange Victorian world that the ideas for my books take shape, characters are developed, and my ideas take flight.Myths, folklore and fairytales inspire my writing. I studied fairy tales and folklore when I was completing my MA in Creative Writing .
