Description

A Child’s History of England is a book by Charles Dickens. It first appeared in serial form in Household Words, running from 25 January 1851 to 10 December 1853. Dickens also published the work in book form in three volumes: the first volume on 20 December 1851, the second on 24 December 1852 and the third on 25 December 1853. Although the volumes were published in December, each was postdated the following year. Dickens summarizes in separate chapters, the reigns of England’s monarchy, from Henry III to Richard III. In this book, the history covered the period between 50 BC and 1689, ending with a chapter summarizing events from then until the accession of Queen Victoria. The book was included in the curricula of British school children well into the 20th century, with successive editions published from 1851 to World War II.However, contrary to the novel’s title, it’s more suitable to adults than children.

Description

From the mysterious Druids and noble King Alfred to the notorious Henry VIII and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, Charles Dickens traced his country’s history for the benefit of young Victorians. Written with the beloved storyteller’s customary panache, this series of historical vignettes reads like a fast-paced novel, rich in anecdotes and colorful stories. Dickens’ unsparing, witty, and opinionated perspectives on the great pageant of English history also offer insights into his own political and religious attitudes. This lively narrative was dedicated by the author to his children, in hopes of whetting their appetites for more substantial works of history. The book was included in the curricula of British schoolchildren well into the twentieth century, and it remains a treat for all ages. Alice Munro remembered it fondly as “the first glimpse I ever had of history, before I knew what history was … the whole story has the charm and recklessness and exaggeration of a spellbinding fairy tale.”
