Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on January 03, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Terry Deary! May your day be filled with more laughs than a Horrible Histories sketch and fewer mishaps than Master Crook's Crime Academy. Your knack for turning gruesome history into hilarious adventures has made countless kids (and adults!) giggle their way through the ages—who knew plagues and punishments could be so entertaining?

Here's to celebrating another year of delightfully dreadful tales and mischievous masterminds. With over two hundred books under your belt, you've proven that history doesn't have to be boring—it just needs a dash of humor and a sprinkle of mischief. Keep making us laugh while teaching us lessons we'd never admit we enjoy learning!
