Look insideHorrible Histories: This is a Horrible Journal
Record your very own horrible history. This beastly book is just as nasty as you make it! Don’t settle for a nice, boring year. (Zzzz.) Make it a totally yucky year instead! This journal is full of diary dates: ones you write in yourself, and awful historical anniversaries for each day of the year. Did Charles I get the chop on your dad’s birthday? Did 21 people drown in treacle on the first day of term? Or do you share a birthday with Ivan the Terrible? (Yikes.) Scribble or doodle your own nasty notes, diary dates and wicked plans. PLUS – be repulsed by a foul fact every single day! Yikes!
- A fill-in diary with a foul fact for each day of the year
- Fantastic pictures, yucky info and awful anniversaries
- See what dire deeds happened on your favourite dates
- Write, doodle and scribble your own revolting records

Martin Brown
Martin Brown was born in Melbourne, Australia, and has lived in England for over 30 years. He lives in Dorset with family. Arriving in London in 1983, Martin got a job as a bicycle courier – without any knowledge of the capital’s geography. It was short-lived. This was followed by a role in Harrod’s toy department: achievements included caricaturing customers and successfully wrapping a full-sized rocking horse. While working at London Graphic Centre, Martin decided to pursue his dream to become a cartoonist. Having access to the contact details of every publisher helped. One of the first publishers he contacted was Scholastic who commissioned him for the Coping with… books before uniting him with Terry Deary to create the world’s bestselling children’s history series, Horrible Histories. Martin’s recent books beyond Horrible Histories include his Lesser Spotted Animal series and Nell and the Cave Bear (both also written and illustrated by him). A proponent of ‘drawing is for everyone’, Martin inspires children (and their families) across Britain at festival appearances and shows.
