Horrible Histories
Packed full of the sort of frightful facts you don’t get taught at school, Horrible Histories has been highlighting the quirkier side of the past for over 25 years. If it’s grim, grisly, gruesome or gross, you can bet it will be featured in this hugely successful series that spans every era from the Savage Stone Age to the Woeful Second World War. Terry Deary’s trailblazing books have spawned a television sketch show, stage productions and an upcoming movie, and proved that history really is more horrifically hilarious than you ever thought possible!
