A visit to the not-so-distant past...

Though admittedly I'm a little too old for Horrible Histories (which I confess were one of the reasons I started to get interested in history waay back in Year 6), the books and illustrations are just too hilariously true/critical at times...



I've also just realised that they've made audiobooks and even a television series of them! Both are quite amusing as well (the television 'Shouty Man - Victorian Child' sketch in particular is so wrong and yet so laughing-out-loud funny). Also the actor voicing the history teacher on the audiobooks sounds so uncannily like David Suchet even though I know he obviously isn't him...
