The first and the original Horrid Henry story. Once upon a time, life was perfect. Children played happily outdoors. Grown-ups enjoyed wonderful peace and quiet. Then Horrid Henry was born! Everybody’s peace was shattered. He screamed. He yelled. He misbehaved. He was absolutely horrid. Even his parents said so. And as he got bigger his tricks got meaner and nastier (and funnier too, of course…) Find out how Henry got to be so horrible as he ruins the family holiday, makes war with his arch-enemy Moody Margaret… and tries to be perfect for a day!

Author/Illustrator

Francesca Simon

Francesca Simon is the author of the hugely successful Horrid Henry series, which has sold over 15 million copies. Henry is a terrible (but loveable) tearaway who leaves grown-ups in tears, and playmates cowering! Short chapters and line drawings from Tony Ross make these great choices for newly confident readers.

More about Francesca: “I was born in St Louis, Missouri, grew up in Los Angeles and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where I specialised in Medieval Studies. I then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue.

After my son Joshua was born in 1989, I started writing children’s books full time.

I have published over 50 books, including the immensely popular Horrid Henry series, published in 17 countries and now a successful CITV animation series.

I live in London with my husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel called Shanti.”
