What to expect

What's that smell? It's HISTORY - and it STILL STINKS!

Did you know that ancient Romans used wee as mouthwash? GROSS! Or that snot was behind some of history's greatest discoveries? HUH?

From French kings with boils on their bums to Victorians who liked to catch tears in special bottles, Wee, Snot and Slime Through Time features deadly battlefield diseases, disgusting dukes, beastly bacteria and slimy stories from the Egyptians to the Tudors and beyond.

Packed with fascinating facts, hilarious illustrations and the snottiest, wee-tastic tales from our pongy past, get ready to be dunked into the foulest corners of history.
