About the author

Francesca Simon grew up in California and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where she specialised in Medieval Studies. How this prepared her to write children’s books she cannot imagine, but it did give her a thorough grounding in alliteration.

She then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue (US). After her son Joshua was born in 1989, she started writing children’s books full time. One of the UK’s best-selling children’s writers, Francesca has published over 50 books, including the immensely popular HORRID HENRY series, which has now sold over twelve million copies.

Francesca won the Children’s Book of the Year in 2008 at the British Book Awards for Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman. HORRID HENRY is published in 24 countries and is also an animated CITV series. She lives in London with her husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel, Shanti.

When i read this book, probably 5 or 6 years ago, it was awfully funny. Therefore, I regard this as the number one childs book. Well done Fracesca Simon!

Excellent book!! I love it.. got me soo engaged towards reading.
Henry is the funniest. His adventures in school are so interesting and funny. I love the way Francesca has labeled everyone like Horrid Henry, Perfect Peter, Rude Ralph, etc. I would really recommend this book for more children age 6-10 to read it. I am 10 and I love it☺️🤩
