Horrible Histories – 4 Book Collection: Dive Into the Nasty Bits of the Past!
Why read boring history books when you can laugh your head off while learning the most shocking, smelly, and side-splitting facts from the past? The Horrible Histories series by Terry Deary is the award-winning, bestselling phenomenon that makes kids love history — because it tells the truth. The disgusting, weird, and wild truth.
This 4-book collection features four of the most iconic and hilariously horrible eras in history:
-
Gorgeous Georgians
Discover a world where powdered wigs were all the rage, rich folks feared the "highwayman," and the punishments were as ridiculous as the crimes. Get to know the bonkers monarchs and revolting rituals that made the Georgian age anything but gorgeous. -
Slimy Stuarts
Want to know how to survive the Great Fire of London? Or how to get ahead (or lose one) during the English Civil War? Meet the secret-spilling spies, see why Charles I lost his head, and cringe at Stuart-style surgeries. You’ll be grateful you weren’t born in this sticky, icky century! -
Groovy Greeks
Think you know the Greeks? Think again! Sure, they gave us democracy, but they also believed in gods with wild tempers, held strange competitions like naked Olympics, and thought garlic was medicine. From philosophers to pharaoh-fighters, the Greeks were brilliant... and bonkers. -
Vile Victorians
Welcome to the time of terrifying teachers, deadly diseases, workhouses, and child chimney sweeps. Victorian life was far from proper — unless you like mud, misery, and manners gone mad. Find out what Queen Victoria really thought, and why kids were often better off on the streets!
Each book is packed with:
-
Gross-out facts and gory details
-
Hilarious cartoons by Martin Brown
-
Quizzes, jokes, and revolting records
-
True tales of mad monarchs, daft doctors, and terrifying traditions
Whether your child is a reluctant reader or a history lover in the making, this series grabs their attention and keeps it — with belly laughs and brain-boosting facts on every page.
