Product Description

Product Description
One of the "Horrible Histories" series, this gives gruesome details of Tudor life, including cruel kings such as Henry VIII. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Back Cover
Foul facts about the cruellest kings and meanest queens ever to rule England!

Terry Deary and Martin Brown’s brilliant books about the nastiest periods in history have now—with the help of some astounding actors—been transformed into a series of audio extravaganzas. Featuring new, extra material not found anywhere in the books, these sound spectaculars are just as thrilling and spilling, funny and fast as their printed counterparts. Horrible Histories are guaranteed to bring you history with the nasty bits left in!

So, if you want to hear the terrible tale of an awful axeman and brush up your knowledge of Tudor torture, or if you’ve ever wondered exactly why Henry VIII thought he’d married a horse, this is the cassette for you! It’s packed with sketches, quizzes and revolting recipes which—when mixed with poems, jokes, mini-dramas and real life re-enactments—tell you the kind of foul facts which just aren’t available from a classroom education!

History has never been so horrible … --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to history, 14 Feb 2007
This review is from: The Terrible Tudors (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
This book is, contrary to some views, a very good read. It is designed to make learning about the "Terrible" Tudors fun, and it achieves this with flying colours.

The book not only introduces the monarchs of the time, such as the infamous Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I, but also what conditions were like to live and work, what food there was available, and some Terrible Tudor customs!

Overall, a perfect book to read for children and teenagers alike, combining Terry Deary's perfect humour with facts which will stick with the reader for the rest of their lives!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and very knowledgeable book!!, 26 Jan 2007
By K. Duerdoth - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Terrible Tudors (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
I found this book very easy to read. It's one of those books you can open any page and just start reading-it kept me happy for hours! It also has very useful and useless facts. It's all put in a very funny and readable style of writing.
