A Childs History Of England

From the mysterious Druids and noble King Alfred to the notorious Henry VIII and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the beloved English storyteller traced his country's history for the benefit of young Victorians. Dickens published these historical vignettes over a three-year period in his weekly periodical, Household Words. Written with his customary panache, they offer lively, highly subjective entertainment and instruction for readers of all ages.
