Ostensibly written for adults, unlike Terry Deary's Horrible Histories, but a very similar style - very sweeping and entertaining. He's much more critical of Britain, monarch, imperialsim and our role in the slave trade than I've picked up on before, I mistakenly had him pegged as a bit of a right-winger. I don't feel right putting it in the history bookshelves though, so it's going in the playroom, snob that I am.
