The Blurb On The Back:
Horrible Histories - The Worst In The World is packed full of the foulest gold, silver and bronze medal-winning entries in horrible categories such as:
Diseases, Battles, Emperors, Punishments, Schools and More
Discover what made the cut for the worst job in history (spoiler alert - it involves a king, a toilet and some botty wipes), or the worst ever pirate (must be the one who tied his own noose around his neck).
History - it’s the absolute worst!
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Terry Deary is an actor and author who is well known for his best selling HORRIBLE HISTORIES SERIES for children aged 7+. This entertaining book (with fun illustrations by Martin Brown) sets out a top 3 of some of the nastiest, horrifying and disgusting parts of history. It’s breezy and fun albeit quite western specific (I wish there had been more from Africa and the far east) but hopefully will stimulate readers’ interest in the subject.
HORRIBLE HISTORIES - THE WORST IN THE WORLD was released in the United Kingdom on 13th April 2023. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
