Personal Review: The Groovy Greeks: AND The Rotten Romans
(Horrible Histories Collections) by Terry Deary
The "Horrible Histories" books deliver up historical facts regarding
American, European and World history in such an entertaining way for
7-12 year-olds, that the children may never notice how much they're
learning. During a family vacation to the U.K. we first stumbled upon these
books in the bookstore of one of the castles we toured and bought a

couple volumes at our 9 & 12 year-olds' requests in order to keep them
occupied in the back seat as we drove several hours to the next stop on
our itinerary. Shrieks of laughter ensued from both children not long after
we got underway, interspersed with, "Hey, listen to this..." The dreaded
long drive passed without complaint from the denizens of the back seat,
which was a welcome change, but by the time we arrived at our destination
they'd each finished one book, were trading copies, and begging for more.
We looked for more "Horrible Histories" as we continued our vacation,
returning home to the U.S. with perhaps 8-10, which they re-read on the
plane flight home. I bought several other volumes over the next couple
years as gifts, which were eagerly received. My children have now
outgrown them, but if you have children in this age group, they are sure to
enjoy this book.
