Can't wait to teach this - 4.5*

Love the Greeks so yes I'm looking forward to this next term.

Thanks Terry Deary for some background knowledge.

Funny and highly readable. I, an adult, personally didn't learn much about the Greeks from this book (I knew quite a bit before reading, not due to the lack of interesting facts!) but still really enjoyed Deary's writing and way of teaching. I also liked the quirky repetition of 'Groovy' in the comics and found it done just at the right level that it wasn't unfunny after a while.

A melhor maneira de aprender mais sobre os gregos antigos de uma forma super divertida! ;)

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!

The audiobooks for this should be way longer. They're quite funny and entertaining.

I liked this so much, it's possibly better than the one about the Romans.

My least favourite of these so far - but it was definitely still interesting!

How many of us read the Horrible Histories as children and claimed to know everything about the world? I know I did! I would read the books and the proudly tell anyone that would listen that I knew facts about the world that they couldn't possibly know. I love these books.
