We were so excited, this looked like another great book in the Horrible Histories series, with lots of fun facts for our son to enjoy. It looked like a new book with its different coloured cover which we double-checked before ordering. He had one with a red cover, so this must be a new book we thought.
How wrong we were! Only when we had purchased it and it had arrived, did we discover that it is actually a reprint of a previous edition he already had, and we couldn’t find anything new. This was very disappointing and felt like we had been cheated by an underhand con trick.

Bought – along with the Activity Book – for an 8 year-old, as an additional bit of festive entertainment. The book is typical of the series: highly entertaining and educational in its own way. Great Christmas gift for fans of the TV series or orginal books. Recommended.

The book itself is great and has lots of interesting facts which my son (6) was enjoying reading quietly to himself. However, he came to me upset because in a true/false quiz it claims that Santa is dead. When I explained that Saint Nicolas was dead but obviously Santa was not dead he was still angry as a non-fiction book shouldn’t be so misleading and say Santa was dead when he wasn’t then. Glad I gave it to him now and not on Christmas Eve to be honest…I think joking about Santa being dead is in very poor taste.
