Trivia about Horrid Henry
Almost every character is known by an alliterative nickname (Rude Ralph, Moody Margaret, Brainy Brian, etc.) with a few exceptions e.g.
In April 2008, Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman won the Galaxy Children's Book of the Year Award.
Horrid Henry has twice been nominated for BAFTA's Best Animation; in 2009 and 2010.
Following the birth of her son Joshua in 1989, Francesca Simon was asked by Judith Elliott, an editor at Orion Books, to write a story about a horrid child.
Inspiration also came from Cain and Abel, Oedipus Rex, Seinfeld, and Simon's own childhood, growing up in California the eldest of four siblings (including her sister Anne), desperately wanting to be an only child.
The first Horrid Henry book was written and published in 1994 by Orion.
