Advantages: Fun and educational

Disadvantages: None

The horrible histories series are a set of books aimed and children and teenagers which aim to make history interesting and fun as well as educational.They are written by Terry Deary and illustrated by Martin Brown.The books are black and white but contain good diagrams and drawings to make the books more understandable.The series covers most major historical periods from the stone age to world war 2.The series also has many specials editions, handbooks and magazines as well as the normal paperback books.They include jokes and humour which makes the books accessible for young people and makes them take more of an interest then the traditional history book used in schools.I would strongly recommend these but not only to cbildren as adults can often find them interesting and even learn interesting facts from the books.The books were around £4.99 new but are available from many websites and stores for under £2.

Summary: A great way to make history interesting
