The Lord Chamberlain's Men was a theatrical company that was portrayed very well in The Shakespeare Stealer, a historical fiction book. Historical fiction is a genre in a book, poem, movie, or video game based on real historical events, but in which the characters are not real, and the minor events may not be realistic.
