Horrible Histories: Horrible Christmas

Hold your breath… it’s Horrible Christmas. A book of all the freaky festive facts you always wanted to know, but were too stuffed with mince pies to find out! See why making Christmas pudding used to be a crime, read spooky festive stories to send shivers down your spine, and shudder at some curious and cruel Yule customs. Test out foul food recipes, learn how to get rid of those irritating carol singers, and get ready to have a very happy – um, horrible – Christmas!
