[Book Review] Horrible Histories: Terrifying Tudors🛡

🧮Score: 4.6/5.0

■ A brief yet impactful overview of the Tudors, uncensored history. The gruesome reality of the past is presented in a fun, creative and cheeky narrative. The flow is awesome! I enjoyed all the comical illustrations attached. No portion of this book can be boring.

■ At the end of each reign, there will always be quizzes. The answers give away more amazing trivia, if not mind-blown. By the end of the last “chapter”, you will sit for a set of exam questions that cover all bases on the Tudors. What is fun about these quizzes, apart from the way he phrases the questions and answers, is that the quiz will open with a different concept each time. But always, the motivation is, to challenge the teachers!

■ There are many interesting quotes, agendas and highlighted events that provoke our critical thinking further. Always learn from history. We will be able to devise a better strategy in whatever our endeavour is going to be, inshaAllah.

■ Full of dark senses of humour. The horrible histories of the cruelty of the rulers and “noble” men were indeed, Terrifying! Many forms of insertions are interjected between the passages. All of them have a definite purpose. For example, a short Shakespeare’s play titled Titus Andronicus was included. It was one of Queen Elizabeth I’s favourite pieces. How wonderfully horrible taste for entertainment, yeah?

■ Although the book was meant to be an engaging introduction approach to history to children, I would not recommend it. Teenagers, maybe. But for young adults and grown-ups with young hearts, please, it is highly recommended! Excellent read!

Once again I’m awake at 1am and answering shit on this blog. Do not be like me.

#I’m going to bed now #no one cite HH as a source while I’m sleeping #Terry Deary thinks public libraries should be abolished #because no one should get what’s in a library for free #that’s on his wiki page fyi #he lost my respect when I read he’d said that years ago

Hello! Normall I would ask rudjedet this but I know she's not really answering questions about Egypt these days. My 7yo watched a youtube video about Ancient Egypt and was super fascinated. I'd like to get him some books about Ancient Egypt for further learning (that I can read to him; he's starting to read on his own but he can comprehend a lot more than he can read by himself yet). Do you have suggestions for good informational kid's books about Ancient Egypt?

Hullo! After discussion with The Bitches(tm) including Rudjedet we have come to the following conclusions:

Children-friendly books tend to be very regional and so we can't really do specifics but look for age-appropriate books in your library network. The more recently written the better as those are less likely to contain, like, slave myths

Honestly Horrible Histories really isn't terrible! We all still genuinely like them! Terry Deary is a general historian not an Egyptologist so there are still some things in there that are wrong, but at that age it's fine really.

When kiddo is a touch older, The Complete... series (complete pyramids, complete valley of the kings, complete temples etc etc) are really very good and written for a layperson. They might be a bit in-depth for as young as 7 though. But that depends on your sprog.

The same goes for The Cultural Atlas of Ancient Egypt.

Cultural Atlas these days can be a bit pricey. You didn't hear it from me, but if your library network doesn't have it the Internet Archive does
