From the Back Cover
Foul facts about the cruellest kings and meanest queens ever to rule England!

Terry Deary and Martin Brown's brilliant books about the nastiest periods in history have now—with the help of some astounding actors—been transformed into a series of audio extravaganzas. Featuring new, extra material not found anywhere in the books, these sound spectaculars are just as thrilling and spilling, funny and fast as their printed counterparts. Horrible Histories are guaranteed to bring you history with the nasty bits left in!

So, if you want to hear the terrible tale of an awful axeman and brush up your knowledge of Tudor torture, or if you've ever wondered exactly why Henry VIII thought he'd married a horse, this is the cassette for you! It's packed with sketches, quizzes and revolting recipes which—when mixed with poems, jokes, mini-dramas and real life re-enactments—tell you the kind of foul facts which just aren't available from a classroom education!

History has never been so horrible …
