My son has just acquired the Horrible Histories book on France. Not quite up to the standard of the others, I thought, browsing through it. They describe the murder of Henri III, for instance, but don’t tell the reader that the flamboyantly gay Henri was sitting on his commode at the time–an unforgivable omission in a Horrible History. And the whole story pretty much stops after the Revolution. Come on, guys: the French are STILL horrible.
