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.

[Tabitha Peverley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is exactly like reading a Horrible Histories book but without the illustrations. Still retains the humour Deary is known for and I learned some new things about events I thought I already knew everything about, as well as some events I had never heard of. I enjoyed how it was written like a step by step guide to how to revolt it made each chapter easy to read. I also appreciated that the examples in each chapter were in chronological historical order.

A wikipedia run through with some tired jokes and puns. Not really explored any Horrible Histories before so this is a first. I think given the amount of books the author has sold, this must be far from his best. On the upside it opens up a lot of history I would like to know more about. Maybe thats what HH is all about!
