I read this book straight after Terrifying Tudors and found that my main qualms with that book were ameliorated in this one. I did find it was a bit repetitive in some sections but this book was pretty fun; considering the Stuarts are seen as the 'dull' period between the crazy Tudor and Georgian eras by many, this book didn't feel dull itself.

I'm thoroughly enjoying rereading these Horrible Histories books that I haven’t read in over a decade! There is plenty of information included that you might not find in more 'traditional' history books.
The cartoons are brilliant and still make me giggle even after all these years and Terry Deary's writing is still as engaging as it was all those years ago.
Even if you're an adult historian you will still enjoy reading these, whether reading them for the first time or rediscovering them!

For nostalgias sake I really wanna give this 5 stars, it was books like these that got me hooked on history as a kid thus I feel like it deserves all the praise it gets. It was witty and funny, with the right amount of cheesy jokes and intriguing facts of the period. Will definitely need to read all these books again at some point

I thought this'd be as boring as the other Horrible Histories I read recently but...
