About this ebook

Pssst! It's True! This is the best book on FASHION you'll ever read!

Are you dying to be trendy? Would you kill to be cool?

Warning! Fashion can give you blisters and break your ribs; it might even be the death of you.

Which dancer was strangled by her own scarf and why did King George wear a corset? Why did women want bigger bums, and what do you do with a codpiece?

Read this book to find out about the victims of fashion crazes through the ages: the silly, the scary and the suffocated.

Roll your eyes at these freaky fads and toe-crunching trends

About the author

Susan Green grew up by the beach and in country Victoria and always wanted to write and illustrate books. She gave away her art studies and teaching to concentrate on writing when she won an Age short story competition. Eight books for children and young adults followed in the next ten years. Susan loves looking at what other people are wearing, but she herself is a total dag.

Illustrator Gregory Rogers was born in 1957 and lives in Brisbane, Australia. He has had several solo exhibitions and is one of Australia's finest children's book illustrators. In 1995 he was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal for Book Illustration for Way Home by Libby Hathorn. Gregory is also a musician and a keen collector of CDs, antiques, books and anything that attracts dust.
