Fed up with the same old animals? Got a thirst for more nifty nature knowledge and a love of the unknown underdog? Join bestselling Horrible Histories illustrator Martin Brown in discovering the wonderfully wow wildlife we never get to see in this fact-tastic and tummy-tickling event.
Brown worked as a cartoonist on magazines, books and cards before teaming up with Terry Deary for a new book The Terrible Tudors, the first in the Horrible Histories series. The series is now made up of 60 titles that have sold 25 million copies.
