Uncover the grittiest, most scandalous moments from England's past with this darkly entertaining history book. Packed with outrageous tales and jaw-dropping revelations, it transforms the study of history into something genuinely engaging and fun. Perfect for readers who prefer their historical facts to be of a more horrible nature.
The master of making history fun, Terry Deary, turns his attention to England. From which monk tried to pinch the devil's nose with a pair of tongs, and why some people in the Middle Ages ate dove droppings, to which English King was accused of being a werewolf. It's all in Horrible Histories: England:
Horrible Histories has been entertaining children and families for generations with books, TV, stage show, magazines, games and 2019's brilliantly funny Horrible Histories: the Movie - Rotten Romans.
