Career
Horrid Henry books
The first Horrid Henry book was written and published in 1994 by Orion Books. As of 2019, there are 25 titles published. The series has sold more than 21 million copies worldwide.
The books are a slice-of-life series featuring the titular Henry, a self-centered, naughty boy who will typically be faced with a problem and then will often retaliate in interesting ways that involve trickery, rule-breaking and practical jokes. Henry has a younger brother, Perfect Peter, who is the exact opposite. Almost every character is known by an alliterative nickname (Rude Ralph, Moody Margaret, Brainy Brian, etc.) with a few exemptions: (Mum and Dad).
The Horrid Henry stories are read on audiobook by the actress Miranda Richardson and published by Orion Audio.
Horrid Henry is published in twenty-five languages around the world. In April 2009, the US Sourcebooks' Jabberwocky imprint released four Horrid Henry paperbacks nationwide which included "Horrid Henry," "Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb," "Horrid Henry and the Mega-Mean Time Machine," and "Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy." Sourcebooks have released additional Horrid Henry titles including activity pages, event kits, and a teacher's guide.
