It first appeared in serial form in Household Words, running from January 25, 1851 to December 10, 1853. Dickens also published the work in book form in three volumes: the first volume on December 20, 1851; the second, December 25, 1852; and the third, December 24, 1853. Although the volumes were published in December, each was postdated the following year. They bore the titles: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Volume I. - England from the Ancient Times, to the Death of King John (1852)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Volume II. - England from the Reign of Henry the Third, to the Reign of Richard the Third (1853)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Volume III. - England from the Reign of Henry the Seventh to the Revolution of 1688 (1854)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDickens dedicated the book to \"My own dear children, whom I hope it may help, bye and bye, to read with interest larger and better books on the same subject.\" The history covered the period between 50 BC and 1689, ending with a chapter summarising events from then until the accession of Queen Victoria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you look at a Map of the World, you will see, in the left-hand upper corner of the Eastern Hemisphere, two Islands lying in the sea. They are England and Scotland, and Ireland. England and Scotland form the greater part of these Islands. Ireland is the next in size. The little neighbouring islands, which are so small upon the Map as to be mere dots, are chiefly little bits of Scotland, --broken off, I dare say, in the course of a great length of time, by the power of the restless water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Dickens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1537266616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781537266619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.01w x 0.51d","brand":"Charles Dickens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067277406463,"sku":"9781537266619","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8fb6a2ae-fff8-42ad-b647-76f3ef46066e.jpg?v=1685412264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-childs-history-of-england-charles-dickens-9781537266619","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
