Horrible Histories: Vile Victorians by Terry Deary

Vile Victorians sweeps aside the prim portraits and lace collars to reveal the messy, marvellous and often shocking truth about life in the nineteenth century. Terry Deary explores the darker corners of Queen Victoria’s Britain and uncovers stories that history lessons tend to skip. Readers will meet murderers who somehow escaped the gallows, learn when the very first public toilet was flushed and discover why stag hunting once took place inside Paddington Station.

The book is packed with bold illustrations and the trademark Horrible Histories humour that makes even the strangest facts unforgettable. It brings the Victorian world to life in all its grime and glory, showing how ordinary people lived, worked, suffered and survived during a time of rapid change.

Perfect for curious readers and anyone who prefers their learning lively, Vile Victorians sits proudly within the long running Horrible Histories series that has fascinated families for decades in print, on stage and on screen.
