Horrible Histories: Vile Victorians

by Terry Deary

The Victorians might have looked prim and proper — but don’t be fooled! Behind the stiff collars and serious faces were murderers, mad inventors, and all kinds of mischief-makers.

Discover the criminals who escaped the noose, when the first public loo got flushed, and why there were stags on the loose in Paddington Station. It’s vile, it’s Victorian, and it’s packed with all the nasty bits they tried to hide!
