Hot off the press, this landed on my desk today. #GillArbuthnott narrates the story of Mary. It's interspersed with information boxes to help explain life in the 1500s, and illustrations by #MikePhillips. An excellent choice for young historians @FlorisBooks @DiscoverKelpies

It’s great being able to visit all my favourite places again like… The Tower of London. So many of my (ex) ministers, (ex) friends, (ex) wives spent time there. I feel very close to them… Want to know more? Henry VIII’s Secret Diary is out now #HorribleHistories

The people have spoken… 💀“Caution – May Result in a Lifelong Obsession with History!” 🍗“Recommended for children and adults alike” 🪓“Delivers Tudor history from a totally different angle" 🐗"A must have for any Horrible History fan"

The wait is over! MY Secret Diary is out today. You’re welcome. Even though it's all written and illustrated by ME, I suppose I should also thank Terry Deary, Martin Brown and Mike Philips... #HorribleHistories @MartinHHBrown @MikePhi97231594

Replying to @GabrielScally
"No messing about. No faffing around." We need a full lockdown. Schools need to stay closed and be made safer. And, we still need a proper Find, Test, Trace, Isolate & Support system. @SkyNews See the @IndependentSage emergency statement independentsage.org/29th-dec…
