“★★★★★ Horrible Histories
is back - and better than ever. Marking 30 years of the beloved
series, The Worst in the World is vintage Terry Deary - deceptively
informative with plenty of gore ... brought to life by
Martin Brown's cartoonishly gory illustrations” - Daily
Telegraph


“Perfect for fans new and old, and packed with Deary's
priceless wit and Brown's perfectly pitched illustrations,
the past has never been so winningly horrible and so hilariously
entertaining!” - Lancashire Evening Post
