Look insideHorrible Histories: Deadly Days in History
The Grim Reaper’s diary! Some dark days keep him really busy, poor lamb. Check your diary: is it a deadly day in history? Famines, battles, revolutions: honestly, sometimes Death barely gets a moment’s letup. (Unless he looks in this book and laughs so much he keeps dropping his scythe.) Now – just like you celebrate a birthday, Death likes to celebrate a good old Deadly Day. And here’s your chance to join the party. Lots of bloody bits. No boring bits. Quite a few sort-of funny bits. Just don’t die laughing – the poor old Reaper is already overworked. (No wonder he looks a bit grim.)
