Terrible Tudors - Horrible Histories Series - Terry Deary


Do you have to write a BORING report on the Tudors? Or do you want to know who and his guests ate 5 banquets consisting of 24 beefs, 34 porks, 51 great veals , 91 pigs , 100 fat muttons, 168 swans , 444 pigeons , over 700 cocks and hens and over 4000 larks all in 1 month? Then Terrible Tudors is the book for you.

From 1485-1603 the terrible Tudors were the boss, and trust me, you would not like to work for them. And Terrible Tudors explains why.

Unlike many other history books, horrible histories make history funnier and more enjoyable. It has a lot of words children frequently use.

But the book teaches young children to call your teachers names by saying things like “Please, Miss/Sir/Fat face….”

I suggest Terry Deary & Neil Tonge (the authors) should make a website and/or not use cursive language

This is a history book recommended for years 7-107.

I would rate this book 9/10.
