Horrid Henry and the Time Machine

The book contains four stories from the life of Horrid Henry: "Horrid Henry Goes for a Walk", "Horrid Henry and the Time Machine", "The Revenge of Perfect Peter", "Horrid Henry at the 'Chic' Restaurant".

It's hard to call the disobedient eight-year-old... boy named Henry a role model. He doesn't like going to school, eating vegetables for lunch, or doing everything adults say. His behavior horrifies his parents and teachers, but stories about his antics have been making readers around the world laugh for nearly 30 years. They have been translated into 30 languages and sold over 22 million copies.

In England, books about Horrid Henry are among the top five most in-demand library books. Children enjoy reading them on their own and ask for more. What is the secret of such success?

Henry is an incredibly charming anti-hero. He evokes sympathy despite all his pranks because he embodies the little restless "devil" that sits in each of us.
