Product Description

Product Description

It's history with the nasty bits left in! Want to know: · What vile Victorian parents called their children? · Who had a gruesome glass eye for every occasion? · When the first public loo was flushed? Discover all the foul facts about the Vile Victorians - all the gore and more

From the Back Cover

The terrible truth about revolting events not so very long ago!

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 know how some Victorians made a profit from dead bodies, or learn about the tricks the poor kids used to play on the ‘posh people’, and if you’ve ever wanted a gory and gruesome guide to vile Victorian death, 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 The Vile Victorians gives you the dire details of Victorian life for everyone.....', 22 Mar 2007
By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Vile Victorians (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
`The Vile Victorians gives you the dire details of Victorian life for everyone - from children in the monstrous mines and savage schools to the vile Victorian Queen herself.

Be warned, this book is not for the squeamish.........
You wouldn't believe some of the things the vile Victorians got up to. After you've read this book you still might not believe them. But they are true, I'm afraid.
Some Victorians could be Vicious and Violent and Villainous - VILE, in fact.
When you've finished reading the book you'll probably know more fascinating facts about the Victorians than your teacher....
Be warned, again!
This book is not suitable for adults.
Victorian adults did some pretty nasty things to children.
You wouldn't want your parents or teachers to get any horrible ideas, would you?

Read on for curious quizzes, rotten recipes, gruesome games and terrible tests.........for your teacher!
History has never been so horrible!'

A witty, colourful cover opens to 127 pages, split over 11 chapters:-

Vile Victorian timelines
Vile Victorian Queen
Vile Victorian childhood
Vile Victorian schools
Vile Victorian fun and games
Vile Victorian poems, plays and songs
Vile Victorian life
Vile Victorian food
Vile Victorian facts
The vile Victorian Army
Vile Victorian villains

with an introduction and an epilogue.

Written with the typical Deary humour, in a variety of fonts, and superb illustrations/cartoons throughout, from Martin Brown.

5.0 out of 5 stars Education that grabs interest, 24 April 2003
This review is from: The Vile Victorians (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
We bought the magazine version because my daughter was studying the Tudors in school. We kept up with the collection of magazines and tried some of the books. She loves them. Her interest in history is growing and she has learned to move away from just the horrible bits and into a more complete picture. These books are a gem for that. Anything that can get a 7 year old away from the tele and connected to the stream of the past, present and future that is life is great.
