Neil Tonge writes history for children and students, covering British social history, the Tudors, Victorians, the Second World War and other curriculum subjects. He co-wrote *The Terrible Tudors*, one of the earliest *Horrible Histories* books, using gruesome detail and jokes to introduce Tudor rulers, punishments and daily life. His wider catalogue includes *Cholera and Public Health*, *British Social and Economic History 1800–1900*, books on Victorian industry and government, and school titles on the Holocaust, Nazis, Anglo-Saxons and wartime life. Tonge’s writing is concise and information-led, with the tone varying from comic children’s history to straightforward educational reference. His work fits children’s history, school revision and illustrated social history. Read more Less
