Charles Dickens 
A Child’s History of England [EPUB ebook] 

A Child’s History of England was published as a serial in Dicken’s magazine, Household Words between 1851-1853. He summarizes in separate chapters the reigns of England’s monarchy, from Henry III to Richard III. Contrary to the novel’s title, it’s more suitable to adults than children, in our humble opinion. A Child’s History was included in the curricula of British schoolchildren well into the 20th century, with successive editions published from 1851 to World War II.
