Product Description
Product Description
Fascinating facts about big bad Bill the Conqueror and his bully-boys who battled at Hastings 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! Everyone knows about 1066, and how William the Conqueror s men scored a bull s eye at the Battle of Hastings. Or rather a King s eye. But why did William like conquering so much? Were the Normans abnormal? Probably not King Harold and his men were just as fond of cutting off bits of people they didn t like. But that didn t help them when it came to the Battle of Hastings, a fight that had more needle than the Bayeux Tapestry. You can also hear about William the Conqueror s disgusting death. But a word of warning: when you open up this audio, hold your nose! History has never been so horrible!

Format:Paperback
This book gives mounds of historical knowledge without the normal boring text. My son has enjoyed each of the horrible history books, learning a massive amount of our history without even realising it! They are funny, well written and illustrated in an English jargon that children easily relate to.
My son wouldn't part with any of them!

On Fridays I have a history lesson. Most of the people in my class just draw pictures on the palm of their hand and throw paper planes at each other. Normally it takes me three to four weeks to read a book , but this I finished in under a week! I just could not put the book down! It was as if my eyes had been put into a Terry Deary endless read this book warp! As a big, big ,big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big Horrible History fan (And I have read eight books)if you want to read a Horrible Histories book read Stormin' Normans.

I found this book really interesting. i was reluctant to read it first because i usually find history really boring but as soon as i picked up this book i couldn't put it down!
Terry Deary brings history to life with humour and cartoony
drawings that show what it was like back then in a great way!
After i read this i read 8 more horrible histories and found them all equally good and i recomend it to everyone ages 6 - 12.
