leonajasmin's review against another edition

While I prefer 'Villainous Victorians', this was still a fun read! I'd say this one is targeted to a slightly younger demographic than its counterpart based on the topics, but it's all around a fun book and is definitely a classic addition to the Horrible Histories series.

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!

Fast paced. Informative. Accurate information if you love learning new facts about history. Has different little segments and pictures as well so that you can see how some of the parts were carried out.
