In THE BEASTLY BEST BITS Terry Deary and Martin Brown take you on a guided tour through the history of the world using their favourite bits of 20 years of HORRIBLE HISTORIES books. And they promise to leave the gory bits in (and the boring bits out). From the Awful Egyptians and the Rotten Romans to the Vile Victorians and the Woeful Second World War, the Beastly Best Bits is a wicked history of the world collected by Terry Deary from 20 years of Horrible Histories books.

This illustrated, factual tale offers young readers a look at the world’s top ten most dangerous journeys, from Hannibal’s crossing of the Alps to the pioneers of the Great Plains, with a look at their trip preparation, mode of transportation, and more.
