Product Description
"Rotten Rulers" gives you the lowdown on the world's most loathsome leaders. From bizarre tsars and evil emperors to crazy kings and queens, people all around the world have suffered at the hands of their rulers for centuries. Whether they're nutty or nasty, fat or foul, those in charge rarely get it right. Do you want to know: Who gave the job of high priest to a donkey? Who choked to death while eating a crow? Who celebrated victory by eating his enemy's head? Read on for the power-crazed president who still rules from the grave and find out about the suffering slave who was ordered to collect 500 kilos of spider webs for his boss. Meet Genghis the Mongolian murderer and discover just how terrible Ivan really was. History has never been so horrible!

Horrible Histories Books January 3, 2009
This series of books is wonderful. If you want to encourage kids to read and to love history these books will do just that. My 10 year old grandson started reading them a few years ago and is now a real history buff. The books have catchy titles are written in a humerous way so that they keep the child's attention. I highly recommend these books as a teacher, mother and grandmother!
