Horrible Histories: Even More Terrible Tudors - Terry Deary

Premium Review Even more, yes! (358 words)

Rating:

One of my childhood favourite authors is none other than Terry Deary. He is famous for his book series known as Horrible Histories. In this collection there are some great reads, one of which is the Even More Terrible Tudors. Cover: You should never judge a book by the cover, so they say, but I am terrible - I always do it! And I must say, the cover of this particular book is quite exciting! The main colour is a blue shade. There is a man with a blindfold on and another dressed in dark black with a large sword...it seems quite threatenin but very exciting! Plot: Naturally, the book is all about the Tudors and the lives lead during that period of time. It teaches us ...

Horrible Histories: The Terrible Tudors - Terry Deary

Premium Review A not-so-terrible book (472 words)

Rating:

I picked up this book for my little brother from WH Smiths. I'd heard great things about the Horrible Histories books, and thought I'd give them a try - I wasn't disappointed. Tudor history is often remembered from school as a series of kings, queens and dates to recite, however only the first 20 or so pages of the Terrible Tudors is explicitly given over to the monarchs. The rest of the book focuses on the people and life at the time, and is helpfully divided into sections such as "Terrible Tudor Schools", "Terrible Tudor Food", "Terrible Tudor Clothes" and "Terrible Tudor Life for Women". The book is almost like a condensed ...
