Charles Dickens 
A Child’s History of England (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Charles Dickens dedicated this engaging volume to his own children, in whom he hoped to inspire an interest in history. Written with Dickens’s characteristic eye for detail, the history covers the period from 50 B.C. to 1689, ending with a chapter summarizing events from then until Queen Victoria’s accession to the throne in 1837.
