'History Hoaxes' turns history upside down with a series of extremely funny spoofs designed to puzzle parents, confuse classmates and tease teachers!
Each hoax consists of a fake historical document which provides brand new 'evidence' about a familiar story from history. For example, an invitation to Henry VIII's SEVENTH wedding, an Ancient Egyptian architect's plans for ROUND pyramids, and the designs for Queen Victoria's BRIGHT AND COLOURFUL underwear.
A total pack of lies which children will find irresistibly irreverent! And, just to make sure that readers can separate fact from fantasy, every hoax is set in its true historical context.
Illustrated throughout with cartoons.
