Barmy British Empire [Paperback] Deary, Terry and Brown, Martin

**Barmy British Empire** serves up history's most bonkers bits with Terry Deary's trademark irreverent wit.

Deary, the mastermind behind the wildly popular Horrible Histories series, teams up with Martin Brown's wickedly funny illustrations to deliver another winner in the children's non-fiction category.
