Horrible Histories: Villainous Victorians

Fatter. Funnier. And with bigger pics. A new chunky edition: the same historical splattering of laughter, blood and gore. Want some proper cloak-and-dagger villains? You can’t beat the Victorians. So disgusting we had to make TWO books to fit all their yucky antics in. Writing awful poetry? Scaring off burglars with bogies? Eating apes? Kiddy-napping your spangle? Wearing really silly clothes? This lot did them all. How very vile indeed!
