AN APPROACH could be made to one of the authors behind a set of internationally successful books to create a child-friendly version of Haddington’s history. The hugely successful Horrible Histories books, published by Scholastic, were translated into more than 30 different languages and sold more than 25 million copies across the world. The series of books are specially written and illustrated for children. Therese Laing, a former headteacher at Humbie Primary School, raised the idea of a Haddington version during a meeting of the town’s community council earlier this month. She had previously contacted Terry Deary, primary author of the Horrible Histories books, about the idea.
