Ghosts, Rogues and Highwaymen: 20 Stories from British History [Paperback] McCaughrean, Geraldine and Brassey, Richard

History lessons never felt like this at school! Geraldine McCaughrean and Richard Brassey serve up twenty rollicking tales from Britain's past, where headless horsemen gallop alongside roguish thieves and daring highwaymen. From Guy Fawkes to Dick Turpin, these stories breathe life into the legends, mysteries, and delightfully dodgy characters that haunt British history. McCaughrean's masterful storytelling transforms dusty historical facts into page-turning adventures, while Brassey's illustrations add charm and wit. Perfect for young readers who think history is boring, reluctant readers who need a hook, and anyone who believes the past should be thrilling, not tedious.
