Deary never talks down, and children always know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"tg-body\"\u003eFor children who have started to suspect that official history leaves things out — and for anyone who wants to understand where the modern world actually came from.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tales Galore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Like New","offer_id":47461596397804,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/6916\/2220\/files\/gorgeous.jpg?v=1774974924","url":"https:\/\/talesgalore.com\/products\/horrible-histories-gorgeous-georgians","provider":"TalesGalore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
