About This Book
Top 50 Kings & Queens is a lively, humorous nonfiction book from the popular Horrible Histories series, designed to make learning about British monarchs entertaining. It presents historical facts, often the more gruesome or quirky ones, in an accessible, 'bite-sized' format with engaging full-color illustrations. Ideal for children aged 4-11, this book is excellent for sparking an interest in history, providing a fun alternative to traditional textbooks, and appealing to reluctant readers who enjoy humor and digestible information. Parents should expect a lighthearted approach to potentially dark historical events, focusing on the 'foul' and 'loathsome' aspects without being overly graphic.
Top 50 Kings and Queens is packed full of foul facts and loathsome lists all about our ruthless rulers. Filled with brand new material, this pocket-sized guide to rotten royalty has all the trademark Horrible Histories humour in bite-sized chunks. With eye-catching, full-colour layouts and new illustrations from Martin Brown, it's perfect for fans of the series and new readers alike.
