On This Horrible Day in History takes 365 very ordinary days and asks, 'What's the VERY worst that could happen?' Jam-packed with horrible facts for every single day of the year, this hilariously horrible book is the perfect gift for fans of history and fans of the horrible, ancient or not-so-ancient.

Maybe your dad shares his birthday with Guy Fawkes, or your brother shares his with Ivan the Terrible... Maybe this year, Christmas is marked with the Romans unexpectedly obliterating rioters, or the last day of the school year is overshadowed by a very much expected beheading. Anything could happen! With a foul and fascinating fact for every day of the year, you'll find yourself returning to this book again and again.

Illustrated throughout and packed with horrible stories – with all the horribly hilarious bits included, it's perfect for anyone looking for a fun and informative read.

Horrible Histories has been entertaining children and families for generations with books, TV, stage shows, magazines, games, and the brilliantly funny Horrible Histories: the Movie – Rotten Romans.
