«Vile Victorians» is Terry Deary’s popular history book, published by Scholastic (146 pages, in English).
With his usual black humour, this book explores Victorian England: Queen Victoria, poverty, the ban on women and children working in mines, inventions such as the Penny Black stamp and the first public lavatories. Comic strips and gruesome historical facts show the sordid side of an era of contrasts.
It is part of the Horrible Histories series, with illustrations by Martin Brown.
Recommended for young readers and for anyone looking for an entertaining introduction to British history.
