A globetrotting, laugh-out-loud funny history for grown-ups from the multi-million copy bestselling author of A History of Britain in Ten Enemies and Horrible Histories.Remember, remember the 4th of November... *It is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting. But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history.
In his new book, Revolting, bestselling Horrible Histories author Terry Deary takes readers on a hilarious and eye-opening journey through some of the most significant rebellions and uprisings that have happened through the ages, including:Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year.
Spartacus, a touch more modest in his aims, who mainly wanted to go home to see his mum.
The two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister (a first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel).
From the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo through the ages.
* Turns out we've been getting the nursery rhyme wrong all these years. An explosive revelation.
