Horrible Histories: Savage Stone Age by Terry Deary

Savage Stone Age takes readers right back to the earliest days of human history and proves that life was every bit as strange as anything that followed. Terry Deary shines a light on the world of prehistoric people, revealing how they lived, what they believed and the surprising tricks they used to survive. Along the way you will discover what was used before toilet paper was invented, why a hole drilled into the skull was once considered a cure for headaches and how a Stone Age mummy could be made.

The book is filled with lively illustrations and fast paced storytelling that makes the distant past feel vivid, funny and wonderfully odd. It shows that even the earliest humans had bizarre customs and inventive ideas, many of which still puzzle historians today.

Savage Stone Age is perfect for young readers who want to explore history in a way that is exciting and memorable, as well as for families building their Horrible Histories library. The series has inspired generations across books, television, stage and film, and this title carries forward that mix of curiosity, humour and unforgettable facts.

Step into a world before cities and kingdoms and enjoy discovering just how horrible history can be.
