Hi Diane -- 

I can't recommend large print books specifically because I don't read LP.  What I can do is provide you the links to three threads in this forum of the best historical fiction books we've read for each of the past 3 years -- presumably many of them are available in large print. This is at least a start. If you have a specific historical period in which you are interested, others will undoubtedly bombard you with recommendations. (Hoping these links work -- typing this on my iPad while sitting on a somewhat bumpy bus headed to New York with intermittent wifi.) You might also want to check out the Hidden Gems forum for other recommendations. Hope this helps.
