[SPOILER[/SPOILER]Dickens wrote "A Child's History of England" between 1850 and 1853. It really doesn't have a great deal to recommend it as "history" as the term is currently understood - Dickens' view seems to have been somewhat "black and white", with kings either being "saviours of England" or "monstrous villains". Still, it's a fun piece of writing and contains lots of good anecdotes - true and otherwise - about the history of England, from Roman times up to the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688.
As always, enjoy! EDIT: 9 Dec 07 Uploaded v2 with improved layout and formatting. EDIT: 15 Mar 08 Recreated the book with improved formatting. Uploaded v4. EDIT: 2 Sep 12 Thoroughly proofed and corrected against a printed text. Not that many errors found, but the formatting's been greatly improved, and several illustrations and tables added.
