Terry Deary and Martin Brown's brilliant books about the nastiest periods in history have now — with the help of some astounding actors — been transformed into a series of audio extravaganzas. Featuring new, extra material not found anywhere in the books, these sound spectaculars are just as thrilling and spilling, funny and fast as their printed counterparts. Horrible Histories are guaranteed to bring you history with the nasty bits left in!

Following on from the Radio Collection versions of The Terrible Tudors, The Vile Victorians, The Woeful Second World War and the Rotten Romans, this latest volume — The Measly Middles Ages — is released in tandem with The Vicious Vikings.

2003 marks the 10th anniversary of the first book publication of Horrible Histories.

This history book offers the chance to read about the wild women, mad monks, naughty knights and crackers kings and queens of the Middle Ages.
