A Child's History of England: This book covers the period of English history from 50 B.C. to 1689. The work also includes a summarized version of events from 1689 to the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne.

About the Author
Charles Dickens's early childhood was happy until his father was imprisoned for debt. The 12 - year - old Dickens then began working ten - hour days in a boot - blacking factory pasting labels on the jars of thick polish. The shocking conditions of the factory made a profound impression on him. His anger at his situation and at the conditions endured by working - class people became major themes in his fiction.
