About the author

A former actor, theatre-director and drama teacher, Deary says he began writing when he was 29. Most famously, he is one of the authors of the Horrible Histories series of books popular among children for their disgusting details, gory information and humorous pictures and among adults for getting children interested in history. Books in the series have been widely translated into other languages and imitated.

A cartoon series has been made of the series of books and was shown on CiTV for a period in 2002.

The first series of a live-action comedy sketch show of the same name was shown on CBBC in 2009 and a second series is due.

Terry is also known widely throughout children and adult reading groups alike for his True Stories series (see below for series list).

He received an Honorary Doctorate of Education from the University of Sunderland in 2000. His numerous accolades also include the Blue Peter "Best Nonfiction Author of the Century" Award in the U.K.

Ich lese nur Fachliteratur.

My family is not from there. I was born there, left at 8.

How better to understand this place than with a book from the series I was obsessed with at 8?

Everyday I try to tap into my identity. This helped.

The recipe for scouse nearly made me cry with nostalgia.

I’m just sad that it stopped so abruptly and dedicated just one page to The Beatles. No Hillsborough, no YNWA, the things that I thought made that city what it is.

Great for when homesick. Some new facts I did not know! Thankyou

uskumatult vähe sai siit teada Liverpooli linna enda kohta. natuke, jah, ajalugu (aga see ka rohkem umbes nii, et "ega me ei tea, kas roomlased ka siia kunagi jõudsid") ja siis formaadile kohaselt "õudseid" lugusid, et kellel mis moel on õnnestunud surma saada sealkandis läbi aegade. meelde jäi sealt, et II maailmasõja ajal sai sünnitushaigla pommitabamuse, nii et noorimad hukkunud olid ühe päeva vanused, ja et ükskord juhtus nii, et mingi suurema pommitamise kõik ohvrid koguti kuhugi surnukuuri kokku, aga enne, kui nad seal identifitseerida või kokkugi lugeda jõuti, said nad uue pommiga pihta ja siis ei jäänud üldse enam midagi järele.

On 140+ pages a nice overview over Liverpool's History in typical Horrible History style.

Meet infamous & famous Liverpool citizens, and learn from their mistakes.

Sadly, there is not much after the 2nd half of the 20th century, after WWII
It's also is missing a map, which other city guides of the series had included.

Even the Beatles got only mentioned in the epilogue...but all in all the book is okay!
