Horrible Histories
Life wasn't always fun for children in the past. Horrible Histories delves into the not-so-easy lives of children throughout history, from the strict parenting of ancient civilisations, to the terrible fights the young King Louis XIV had with his little brother - even weeing on each others beds! And find out just why Henry VIII was so keen for his son Edward VI to stay inside.
