It's history with the nasty bits left in! Want to know: Whose pickled skin became a sought-after souvenir? Why it's alright to spit on the High Street? How the pupils of Edinburgh High School got away... This description may be from another edition of this product.
this book has some interesting stories, but unless you have background historical knowledge of the city, it might be a little hard to piece together. I had just returned from a trip to Edinburgh and the Highlands, so I found that helpful in understanding the situations. Great book forgetting young people interested in history
Great Books!

We first found the "Horrible Histories" series while traveling in Scotland - they are great books! Both of my boys love reading them...they are the right amount of history with pictures and drawings for interest.
