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 ofDrunk HistoryandHorrible 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 Gossipfollows 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.Katie Kennedy, aka The History Gossip, is a historian whose TikTok platform has taken off since January 2024. With an infectious blend of wit and historical insight, Katie has crafted a unique niche where education meets entertainment. She lives in County Durham.
British artistMartin Hargreavesperfectly marries history and humor in his illustrations, and thanks to his versatility, he creates everything from pastiche images, mimicking the great masters to fantastical beasts and still life paintings. His unique skills have attracted clients in advertising, children’s books, magazines and newspapers, and even at Hampton Court Palace. Martin has a BA in Illustration from Brighton Polytechnic (now Brighton University).“Henry VIII marries a teenager, an 11-year-old sends unsolicited beauty tips to Abraham Lincoln, and a surgeon performs Britain’s first nose job in this witty debut. Kennedy adapts her popular TikTok account of the same name into a calendar commemorating sensational historical events on every day of the year, including scandalous births and deaths, posthumous beheadings, and drunken disasters . . . [A] joyful journey through some of history’s most cringeworthy moments.”Publishers Weekly - Kennedy, Katie
