I fondly remember these books and still enjoy the BBC TV show as my guilty pleasure! I bought two of this series secondhand to give to my old primary school and decided to give them a quick read myself. As always they're a fun and informative read and are as accurate as they can be in a book for kids. I like how since I was a child they've started to include a lot more from histories outside of Europe and the US, meaning I got to learn something too as this wasn't included as much a decade+ ago. If you're thinking about giving this to your kids then 100% go for it! Kid friendly and something they should enjoy.

I think my favorite Horrible History. Very well done as usual and Deary covers lots of material.
I couldn't get enough of Terry Deary when I was like 9 or 10. I devoured every Horrible Histories book I could get my hands on. A very clever and fun way to get kids interested in history. And Deary is very talented and does a great job of sharing truth and making it digestible for kids.
