This is an extremely rare find. It was printed in 1868 as the XV book in Charles Dickens collection with a forward by Dickens. A Child’s History of England is a non fiction recounting of England’s history as told from Charles Dicken’s 19th century view point. The binding and pages on this copy are still intact. There is a little bit of wear on the binding and the pages are delightfully a little discolored from age. I’m not thrilled to part with this masterpiece of my collection but am hoping to find someone else who will love it as much.
