Discover the truth behind the world’s biggest historical howlers!

History is full of daring deeds, mighty heroes and incredible inventions. But it’s also full of humongous FAILS! Athena Kugblenu – comedian and writer on CBBC’s Horrible Histories – explores them all, whether it be the silly mishaps that changed the course of history or the mistakes that did us all a favour. From the Titanic lookout who forgot his binoculars or the astronaut who taped over the Moon landings, to the famous inventors who failed THOUSANDS of times before getting something right, the amazing scientists who ACCIDENTALLY invented life-saving medicines and the businesses that went bust and bounced back better – take a riotous ride through history and discover the epic fails that changed the world.

Thank you to all parents who order these books from us. This ensures the amazing initiative remains free to school’s. Books ordered via Our Bookshop will be signed on the day of the event and given to your child.
