Fiction is any form of narrative which deals, in part or in whole, with events that are not factual, but rather, imaginary and invented by itsauthor(s).

LEGEND (Latin, legenda, "things to be read") is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude.
