Loathsome London

By Terry Deary About · Illustrated by Martin Brown

History with the nasty bits left in!
Loathsome London dishes the dirt on life in Britain’s capital
— the lies, the legends, and all the lousy details, from the rotten
Roman rulers to the plague-ridden peasants. Want to know:
• What cause the Great Stink of 1858?
• Why the flying dustmen were feared?
• Who ate a tosher for tea?
Go underground to discover London’s putrid past, take a trip
to the terrifying Tower and then dip into the River Thames —
London’s largest toilet. Find out the ten worst ways to make a
living in the city and the most disgusting way to die. History has
never been so horrible!
