When did I realise I like old themed stories?

To love something of old historical-themed stories like how I managed to make The Crown Princess and the Footman trilogy is quite a specific thing to have. I have known I loved such things since I was a child. I grew up watching Disney Channel when they would play some princess cartoons quite often. Then there were the epic fantasy themes like Narnia, The Lords of the Rings, and Harry Potter. 

To me, old times is quite something magical, almost unbelievable that it has some dash of reality. How amazing that such customs used to exist! I have found that, in Western Europe, when women used to wear corsets as part of their beauty customs and men wore suits every day, or those intricate mechanical inventions – to be fantastic. This also applies to my fascination as I get older, how every culture has its own unique identity in the past which holds its livelihood. Look at India, China, and South Africa; they have a distinctive identity in the past. History showed the vibrancy of how we got up to this point in time.

It is just so mesmerising that time could change how cultures view things differently. How it has gone through so much, yet it kept humanity going simultaneously. 

I find it amazing that people used to go around the world on foot, to horses, to carriages, to bicycles, to steam engines, and up to the current where we are now experimenting with self-driven cars where we also want to ditch the unsustainable gas for the rechargeable electricity.

Fiction and non-fiction books hold the history of us. That is why, to me, all books are equally important. Non-fiction books like healthcare and growing harvest are useful mandatory for quality of life, as well as how novels depict how people record stories and process them based on their time.
