Terrible Tudors
By Terry Deary and Neil Tonge (narrated by Terry Deary) Scholastic UK, £9.99, runtime 56 minutes
Whether you’ve been affected by the ongoing school closures or are simply looking for a bit of light-hearted historical fun, you could do far worse than the perennially popular Horrible Histories series. This instalment focuses on the Tudors, with plenty of the (innocuous) bawdy humour and bodily grossness that you’d expect. Narrated by creator Terry Deary, there are plenty of sound effects and dramatic interludes to keep things fresh. Audiobooks of other Horrible Histories volumes are also available, including the Groovy Greeks and the Vile Victorians.
