"A Child's History of England", which first appeared serially in "Household Words" between January 25, 1851 and December 10, 1853, is a history of England written for school-aged children. The works originally consisted of three volumes that covered the history of England from between 50 BC to 1689, beginning with ancient history and ending with a summarization of the events of the accession of Queen Victoria. The three volumes of the original edition [Volume I.—England from the Ancient Times, to the Death of King John (1852), Volume II.—England from the Reign of Henry the Third, to the Reign of Richard the Third (1853), and Volume III.—England from the Reign of Henry the Seventh to the Revolution of 1688 (1854)] have been combined into one volume for this edition.
