In this exclusive book, Katie Kennedy of the hugely popular TikTok account @TheHistoryGossip delivers fascinating, witty, and salacious historical facts for every day of the year, proving that our shared histories are anything but boring.

Sexy. Scandalous. Dodgy. If you were of the mind that history is boring, you haven't been paying attention. Meet Katie Kennedy, aka The History Gossip. Incorporating British slang and pop culture references and infused with her signature deadpan humor, Katie offers a delightful fusion of Drunk History and Horrible Histories, making learning about the past an absolute riot.

From royals embroiled in love triangles to Victorians eating tapeworms for the banter, Katie carefully researches the past and delivers shocking and salacious historical facts for each day of the year. Just as informative as it is funny and entertaining, The History Gossip follows an on this day in history format with historical events arranged by month and date, and with quirky reference illustrations to help readers visualize the past.

This compelling and raunchy read covers topics that range from Mary, Queen of Scots getting the chop (she was beheaded after she was found to be complicit in a plot to murder her cousin, Elizabeth I) to the curse surrounding King Tut's tomb (Lord Carnarvon died from an infected mosquito bite two months after visiting). So make yourself a cuppa if you fancy, and get ready to dive into the tales and stories that have made history so very absorbing and a lot outrageous.
