They may have looked all prim and proper, but the Victorians were a jolly naughty bunch who could be vicious and violent and villainous. Readers can discover the murderers who wouldn't hang, when the first public loo was flushed and about stag hunting in Paddington Station. History with the nasty bits left in! 2013 is HORRIBLE HISTORIES twentieth anniversary.

It’s got some really good facts and it’s so interesting that I can imagine what life was like in Victorian times.

It was really good but I had already learned some of it at school so it wasn’t as interesting as it could be

I love horrible histories. The best fact in this book was about schools - the teachers whacked you with a stick if you were naughty.

I liked this book because it told you how you could become a good Victorian. But the women weren't treated fairly in Victorian times. It wasn't quite as funny as the other Horrible History books.
