The three books in the old testament of historical value are the book of Esther, Ezra and Book of Songs.
In the King James Bible, two books consist of ten chapters: Ezra and Esther.
A:No one knows who wrote the Book of Esther, but some who consider it to be an accurate account do say that the author could have been Mordecai, one of the characters in the book. However, there are enough historical errors in Esther to demonstrate that the book was written centuries after the events portrayed and therefore could not have been written by Mordecai.The consensus of biblical scholars is that the Book of Esther is a second-century-BCE novel. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scroll fragments now known as proto-Esther,with several parallels to the Book of Esther suggests, but does not prove, that the Book of Esther was inspired by proto-Esther. In other words, Mordecai played no part in writing this book, and he would seem to have been a literary creation.

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah were written during the period that the Jewish exiles returned to Jerusalem from captivity. The book of Ester was probably written during the period of captivity or shortly after.Answer:According to the Jewish count, Ezra and Nehemiah are one book. In addition to it, Chronicles was written during or immediately after the Babylonian captivity; and Esther was redacted at that time too (by the Men of the Great Assembly, after Mordecai and Esther had penned the original text; see Esther ch.9).
As the Israelites had been taken into slavery by the Babylonians years earlier, just as the prophet Jeremiah said it would happen for failing to listen to God. The books of Ezra, Esther, Nehemiah were written when captive in Babylon, or shortly after they were released by Darius.
