"A Child's History of England" by Charles Dickens, published by Books, Inc., is a hardcover edition that reflects the author's unique ability to present historical narratives in a manner accessible to younger audiences. This Cleartype Edition, printed in the United States by the American Book Bindery-Stratford Press, showcases Dickens' revisions made in 1867 and 1868. Originally serialized in "Household Words" from 1851 to 1853, the work was first published in three volumes in the early 1850s. This particular edition, with its dual publication locations in New York and Boston, lacks a specific publication year, adding an element of mystery and appeal to collectors. The absence of an ISBN suggests it predates modern cataloging practices. The book's sturdy hardcover binding and lack of a dust jacket are typical of mid-20th-century reprints, making it a solid addition to any Dickens collection. Its condition, with some wear on the spine, is indicative of its age and historical value.
