History and Literature: "The Owl was a Baker's Daughter"
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

Historical novels tell stories about a time and a place and the people who live there, requiring authors to do extensive research to reflect the history accurately. Using "The Owl was a Baker's Daughter" by Grace Tiffany as the focus, we will look at the 17th Century English Civil War, focusing on the conflict between Charles I's Royalists and Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads to provide context for the novel. We will then spend a second hour discussing the novel as literature. Readers and history buffs welcome! Please read "The Owl was a Baker's Daughter" before class.
