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 all about stag hunting in Paddington
Station. With a bold, accessible new look, these bestselling
titles are sure to be a huge hit with yet another generation
of Terry Deary fans.

Revised by the author and illustrated throughout to make Horrible Histories more accessible to young readers. 2013 is HORRIBLE HISTORIES twentieth anniversary.

I liked the list of facts and included a recipe as well. The best thing I learned was about how Wueen Victoria sent all the soldiers biscuit Tins and it ended up saving someone's life so they started wearing them on their heads.
