A Child's History Of England

This is the illustrated and annotated edition including an extensive biographical essay about the author and his life as well as a wealth of original illustrations. A collection of Dickens' books would not be complete without this historical work for children which sometimes reads more like a fairytale. In his own very special writing the author runs the child through centuries and centuries of English history. A book that has been in the curricula of English schools until the end of World War II.
