E.H. Gombrich's _A Little History of the World_ is quite good, though not novel-like.

Previous discussion of this sort of thing here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=130810

Wells' _Outline of History_ is available from archive.org

I was trying to put together a similar thing as a list of biographies in chronological order --- did get a good bit of mileage out of reading biographies of the U.S. Presidents to my kids when they were younger.
