Horrible Histories |
Terry Deary's Horrible History books have proved to be immensely popular with children, and their wacky titles make them good quiz fodder. There have been 60 books altogether, which have been translated into 30 languages; in total, more than ten million copies have been sold. This page concentrates on the original twenty–three (which are the ones that have the most interesting titles.)
