You may wonder who Charles Blondin is. The story we are reading in class right now, Mirette on the High Wire, is a great example of HISTORICAL FICTION. It contains characters, places and events that are based on real people, places or events from the past, but the story itself did not happen. The character Belinni is based on a real person, CHARLES BLONDIN.
