We’re excited to announce that Terry Deary will be joining us for Farsley Lit Fest to tell us all about his riotous new history book for adults, ‘Revolting’. It’s definitely an event for those with an inquisitive mind. Following three decades of the multimillion-copy bestselling Horrible Histories children’s series, Terry’s early fans are all grown-up and delighting once again in his playful, cheeky trademark humour as he writes for an older audience. Following the success of ‘A History of Britain in Ten Enemies’, Terry’s back with this follow up that offers up an insight into the riotous rebellions and revolutions that shaped our history. 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. Terry will be signing books following the talk. Terry Deary is the author of 342 published books including the acclaimed Horrible Histories series, selling over 38 million books in 45 languages. The series has been adapted for theatre, museum exhibitions and a major CBBC television series, which has gone on to win several Children's BAFTA awards and a British Comedy Award for best sketch show – the first children's show ever to win.
