Awful Egyptians - Terry Deary

Terry Deary is a fantastic author. He is famous for his collection of books known as 'Horrible Histories'. These books cover a wide range of topics in History and are supposed to make learning fun for children. One of these is Awful Egyptians.

Villainous Victorians - Terry Deary

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 Villainous Victorians. 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 strange. There is a picture of a wealthy victorian man dressed smartly, alongside a scruffy little kid obvious of the lower class. The contrast is interesting and definitely makes you want to learn more and read on... Plot: Naturally, the book is all about the Victorians and the lives lead during ...
