Horrible Histories: Who's Horrible in History

The book you’ve all been waiting for – the Horrible Who’s Who! Discover the merciless miscreants and ruthless rogues who made the past such a perilous place! In his laugh-out-loud compendium, Terry Deary names and shames fifty of history’s all-time vilest villains, from gruesome grave-robbers to the beastly ‘Blood Countess’. The book is stuffed with colour pictures, putrid profiles, nasty newspaper articles, despicable diary entries and even some stomach-churning Sticky End fact files. BEWARE! You won’t find any nice, caring, boring people in here. Only awesomely evil, totally HORRIBLE ones!
