From the Savage Stone Age to the Woeful Second World War, this collection lets young readers gallop through thousands of years of gory, gruesome and genuinely fascinating history. Written by Terry Deary and illustrated by Martin Brown, it's the ultimate gift set for curious kids who love history served with a healthy dose of humour and horrible detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSince the first title launched in 1993, Horrible Histories has become one of the best-selling children's non-fiction series ever, spawning a hit CBBC television show, stage productions and a legion of devoted young fans. This twenty-book collection spans the Stone Age through to the Blitz, covering the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Celts, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Aztecs, Incas, medieval life, Tudors, Stuarts, Georgians and Victorians, right up to the British Empire and both World Wars. Each slim paperback is packed with the strange, stomach-churning facts that traditional history lessons leave out — rotten Roman toilets, terrible Tudor punishments, vile Victorian factories. Deary's irreverent, conversational writing strips away the dry dates-and-battles approach and replaces it with quizzes, cartoons, gruesome top-ten lists and eyewitness-style accounts that make the past feel vividly alive. Martin Brown's distinctive comic illustrations run throughout, adding visual jokes and character to every chapter. Because each title focuses on a single era in short, punchy chapters, the books work brilliantly for independent reading, reluctant readers, classroom topic work, or bedtime dipping in and out. The sturdy, illustrated flip-top box is designed to store all twenty books together, making it easy to keep the whole set organised on a shelf or in a classroom reading corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 complete Horrible Histories paperbacks in one boxed set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers history from the Stone Age to the Second World War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort, punchy chapters ideal for independent and reluctant readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines humour, gore and genuine facts to make learning memorable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy flip-top box keeps the whole collection tidy and giftable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom best-selling author Terry Deary, a trusted name in children's non-fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTerry Deary is the phenomenally successful author behind Horrible Histories, one of the best-selling children's non-fiction brands in the world, which has also become a hit CBBC television series and stage show.
