Order of Terry Deary Books
Terry Deary is a British children’s author who has had tremendous success over his career. He is best known for writing the Horrible Histories series and his books have sold over twenty-five million copies over the years. Horrible Histories has been turned into a cartoon series and a live action comedy sketch show.
Deary was born in Sunderland and went to Monkwearmouth Grammar School for his education. He didn’t like his school experience as a child, especially the style of teaching. He would later become an actor that toured Welsh village halls where he brought theatre to children. Terry eventually became a teacher himself after qualifying at Sunderland’s College of Education. He began writing in 1976, but didn’t make it his full-time career until 1994. The author has continued to be a critic of schools as he believes they have no place in the modern world.
