Written by Jane Austen aged 15, this is a topic she studied when she was a child.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this mischievous satire on school history books, Austen's delightful juvinilia highlights her dry wit and advanced talent for writing. The History of England gives a humorous account of the country's well-known kings and queens, and is complete with Austen's original spelling quirks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDescribing herself as a 'partial, prejudiced and ignorant historian', Austen uses a light-hearted tone to parody the dry history books popularly seen in schools. This lively book mocks historians with outrageous characters and deliciously naughty intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis satirical volume's contents includes: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e- Henry the 4th\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Henry the 5th\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Henry the 6th\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Edward the 4th\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Edward the 5th\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Richard the 3rd\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Henry the 7th\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Henry the 8th\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Edward the 6th\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Mary\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Elizabeth\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- James the 1st\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003col\u003e- Charles the 1st\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eProudly republished by Read \u0026amp; Co.
