A globe-trotting, laugh-out-loud funny history for grown-ups from the multi-million copy bestselling author.

It is a universally acknowledged truth that the rich and powerful always look after their own, and the working people are always revolting. But every now and then, a new group manages to seize power, and it changes history.

In his new book, Revolting, bestselling Horrible Histories author Terry Deary takes readers on a hilarious and eye-opening journey through some of the most significant rebellions and uprisings in history, including:

• Ivaylo, the Bulgarian pig herder who managed to fight off the Mongols, defeat the Tsar, and marry his widow in the span of a year.
• Spartacus, somewhat more modest in his goals, who mainly wanted to go home to see his mother.
• The two suffragists who sent themselves via Royal Mail to see the Prime Minister (a first-class idea, although Downing Street declined the parcel).

From peasants to slaves, martyrs to mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo throughout history.
