Terry Deary and Martin Brown’s brilliant books about the nastiest periods in history have now - with the help of some astounding actors and directed by Dirk Maggs - been transformed into a series of audio extravaganzas.

Featuring new, extra material not found anywhere in the books, these sound spectaculars are just as thrilling and spilling, funny and fast as their printed counterparts.

Horrible Histories are guaranteed to bring you history with the nasty bits left in!

Evil dwarves, not-so-jolly-giants and the ever-present threat of getting a blood eagle (which, as everyone knows, is when you. . . No, it's just to horrible to say here) are among the highlights in this extravaganza of Saxon violence. 

By spending time in the company of the hairy helmeted horrors from the North you'll learn their first aid methods, some typical Viking names - like Blob Nose - and, best of all, their battle secrets (chopping people's heads off, mostly).

Based on the bestselling books written by Terry Deary and illustrated by Martin Brown.  Published by arrangement with Scholastic Ltd.
