As a child history was one of my favourite school subjects thus making Horrible Histories the perfect books for me.
Nowadays children have the television series yet I belong to the older group that had the books. Personally, I believe any child who has an interest in history should give these books a go. They’re truly gripping and so many topics are covered.
Honestly, Horrible Histories are well worth a read.

For a pretty serious topic, Deary makes the Blitz history readable and somewhat comprehendible for young readers.
I couldn't get enough of Terry Deary when I was like 9 or 10. I devoured every Horrible Histories book I could get my hands on.

Another book from the family home. I loved finding all these on the bookshelf. I remember quite vividly getting these on consecutive occasions when I'd been 'good', and I'd quite often trace the pictures in them for my homework.
The Blitzed Brits is a great introduction into an area of history I never really explored in primary school, with the usual wit associated with Terry Deary. It wasn't my favourite, but it wasn't my least favourite either.
