<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I also believe Adavi Bapi Raju wrote some historical fiction. His Himabindu(set in the last days of the Vijayanagar empire) and Gona Ganna Reddi(set in the time of the Empress Rudramadevi) are both considered major classics in Telugu literature. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Thanks for the info, will try to get a hold of them, it's good to know that such historical fiction has been produced.
I also found an interview of Mudigonda Sivaprasad:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Q. Tell us more about the novels you have written.
A. A historical novel needs, time taking research. To write the novel of 'Anubhava Mantapam', it took me almost seven years. I had to read a lot of references. It has been included in the syllabus at Gulbarga and Berhampur Universities. My 'Avahana' novel was serialised by the publishers of Telugu Jyothi in New Jearsy, USA. But the response evoked by the novel 'Srilekha' was tremendous. In fact, the name 'Srilekha' was adopted by many parents to christen their children.
I wrote about five novels on the Satavahana dynasty. Totally sixteen novels were penned by me.
Q. Which are your favourites among your own books?
A. Anubhava Mantapam, Avahana and Sri Paadarchana.

It may not just be fiction but anything that has a sense of adventure, I read Monte Cristo a year ago and couldn't put it down once I started.
The quintessential Telugu story I can think of is "Palnati Veera Charitra", this was also written down by the great Srinatha.
