About this listen

TikTok sensation Katie Kennedy, aka @TheHistoryGossip, serves up a delicious blend of fascinating, witty and salacious history tea for every day of the year.

With infectious wit and historical insight, The History Gossip brings you the mad, bad and dangerous tales from around the world. With entries for every day of the year, this is history … but not as you know it.

Equal parts fascinating and funny, Katie's unique brand of humour takes listeners on a romp through the history books and answers burning questions such as ‘Was Anne of Cleves a minger', ‘Did Mary Shelley lose her V-card on her mother's grave' and ‘Did George IV eat himself to death' and more.

What better way to start your day than find out what other people have done before? The History Gossip reveals the funny, strange and utterly juicy tidbits throughout world history, each with a modern twist of pop culture references and contemporary slang.

This is the ultimate blend of ‘On this day' history education and humour, making it the perfect gift or self-purchase for history lovers.

I love how it is written and how it still tells the story of what happened, it proves that history doesn’t have to be boring and that it is fun to learn! History is an amazing subject which is so important and if this book opens one person into history then it’s done its job!

So funny!

I was really enjoying this until I got to October and then my cat suddenly passed away and I found I couldn't laugh after that

This author has done a brilliant job of making history accessible and fun. I hope she writes further books

One small point, when I was listening to the bit about Princess Diana, I couldn't understand what she said. I know she was referring to Dodi al-Fayed but no matter how many time I rewound with the volume up I couldn't understand what was being said

Great book
