Look insideHorrible Histories: Smashing Saxons
The classic bestseller – now with a nastier new look! No more boring nice-guy nonsense about history. It’s time to learn it the horrible way. And you definitely don’t know your horrible history until you’ve met the smashing Saxons! These blonde brutes liked nothing better than a bloody battle. (Usually against the naughty Normans). They thought wearing pigs on their heads was the height of fashion. Weird or what? Plus: they gave cow pats as Christmas presents. We dare you to try that on your mum…
