Overview
Bring home a whopping stash of mischief with Horrid Henry's Loathsome Library, a brand new paperback collection gathering 30 titles from Francesca Simon's phenomenally popular series. Illustrated throughout by Tony Ross, these laugh-out-loud stories and joke books follow the naughtiest boy in Britain as he wages war on homework, baths, and his infuriatingly Perfect Peter of a little brother. Ideal for confident young readers aged around 6-9, this bumper set is a brilliant way to fill a bookshelf, stock a classroom, or surprise a reluctant reader with 84 stories' worth of chaos, comedy and chuckles in one unmissable value bundle.
About the Books
Since bursting onto shelves in the 1990s, Horrid Henry has become one of the UK's best-loved children's characters, and this Loathsome Library collects a huge sweep of his adventures in one paperback set. Across the 30 books, Henry schemes his way through school trips, sleepovers, talent shows and family holidays, forever clashing with goody-two-shoes brother Perfect Peter and partner-in-crime Moody Margaret. Alongside the story titles sit several joke books packed with gags, riddles and silly wordplay, giving readers a change of pace between chapters. Francesca Simon's sharp, witty writing captures exactly how children think and talk, while Tony Ross's scribbly black-and-white illustrations add extra bite to every prank and disaster. Each book is a quick, satisfying read made up of several short stories, so children can dip in and out without losing the thread, making the series a favourite for reluctant and confident readers alike. Teachers often reach for Horrid Henry to hook children on chapter books, while parents appreciate stories that are genuinely funny for grown-ups reading aloud too. With so many titles bundled together, this set offers exceptional value and variety, meaning there is always another Henry misadventure waiting on the shelf. Whether it is nits, ketchup, zombies or a monster movie causing trouble, every story delivers the same winning mix of naughtiness, humour and heart that has kept Horrid Henry a bestseller for over two decades.
