lexihan's review against another edition

Some jokes land, some don't as much… it feels a bit more dated now, and some language could probably do with updating, as although there aren't any problems with it so far, some words used aren't as common any more. Feel the audiobook version would be a lot better.

History book for young people. Interesting way to start to learn about the middle ages.

I personally found this book a little duller than some of the editions in the Horrible Histories, although it was still pretty good in its own right. Deary's writing style was still prominent, but I didn't find his humour as funny as I have in other books by him.

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!
