Books like The 20th Century by Terry Deary


**History with the nasty bits left in!** The 20th Century takes you from the last days of the vile Victorian queen right up to the nostalgic Nineties, with all the amazing changes and incredible inventions that happened inbetween . . . and it's not even over yet! Want to know: who shocked the world by showing her knickers? how two monkeys and a dog became astronauts? why a posh London restaurant served stewed *cat*? From the suffering Suffragettes to Bill and Ben, from Charlie Chaplin to Margaret Thatcher, this is horrible history as you've never seen it before – because *you're* part of it! History has never been so horrible!
