This is the story through the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Peasant (and their good friend Monsieur Guillotine...). A story full of laughter and adventure by the widely read author Terry Deary, known from the books A History of Britain in Ten Enemies and Horrible Histories.

Remember, remember November 4th... *It is a universally recognized truth that the rich and powerful always take care of their own, while workers rebel. However, every so often, a new group manages to truly seize power, and that changes history.

In his new book, Revolting, best-selling author Terry Deary takes readers on a humorous and educational journey through some of the most significant uprisings and revolutions that have occurred over the centuries, including:

• Ivaylo, the Bulgarian pig farmer who managed to repel the Mongols, kill the tsar, and marry his widow within a year.
• Spartacus, who had more moderate goals and simply wanted to go home to see his mother.
• The two suffragettes who mailed themselves to see the Prime Minister (a first-class idea, although 10 Downing Street rejected the package).

From fields to slaves, from martyrs to rebels, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the establishment throughout the ages.

*It turns out we misunderstood lullabies all these years. A explosive revelation.
