I read this as a kid and enjoyed it, and as an adult I absolutely hate it 🙃
saucydoorhandles's review against another edition
3.0
Horrible histories used to be my favourite when I was a kid and this is just like an extended version of that, with the focus on people instead of a specific time period. These books are good, perfect for any child who is interested in history, especially historical figures. If they like history as a whole, horrible histories is probably better but if they are interested in the person on the cover, it's a must have.
