Horrible 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
