<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4396487, member: 19463&quot;]Do we know where to find the earliest reference to the footstool and stuffed story?&nbsp; I, personally, hate historical fiction.&nbsp; Too often someone makes up stories to sell books and it gets repeated often enough that it becomes &#039;history&#039;.&nbsp; There are many periods in ancient history that we would love to know more accurately but that does not give us the right to fill in the blanks however skillfully we do it.&nbsp; This would be fine if not for the potential for confusion.&nbsp; That is why I prefer things like <b>Game of Thrones</b> which are set not on earth with characters created for the purpose who can do anything and not be right or wrong.&nbsp; Certainly some of the stories may be adapted from history but the names were changed to protect the innocent. </p><p><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/hEzxajyvFEc/0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
