A globetrotting, laugh-out-loud funny history for grown-ups from the multi-million copy bestselling author.

** It is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting.**But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history.

In his new book,* Revolting *, bestselling Horrible Histories author Terry Deary takes readers on a hilarious and eye-opening journey through some of the most significant rebellions and uprisings that have happened through the ages, including:

• Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year.

• Spartacus, a touch more modest in his aims, who mainly wanted to go home to see his mum.

• The two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister (a first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel).

*From the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting * celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo through the ages.*Praise for A History of Britain in Ten Enemies *:
