A Child's History of England is a book by Charles Dickens. 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.[1] Although the volumes were published in December, each was postdated the following year. They bore the titles:
- 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)
- Volume III. – England from the Reign of Henry the Seventh to the Revolution of 1688 (1854)
Dickens 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. [2]
A Child's History was included in the curricula of British School children well into the 20th century, with successive editions published from 1851 to World War II.[citation needed]

The
first volume of A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING PEOPLES
was published by Cassell in April 1956, with 130,000
copies. There were four volumes in the set, the final
one appearing in 1958. The volume titles are:
Vol. I THE BIRTH OF BRITAIN Vol. II THE NEW WORLD Vol. III THE AGE OF REVOLUTION Vol. IV THE GREAT DEMOCRACIES Cassell did a first class job on these books, tall 8vo volumes bound in smooth red cloth with gilt titles and red stained top edges. The dustjackets had special illustrations for each volume. Firsts are plentiful, but fine copies are not. Collectors should be alert for foxing, faded top edges, or colour shift on the dustjacket spines. Dustjacket flaps should not advertise later volumes on first editions. This work is far from a comprehensive history. It emphasises Churchill's recurring theme of the unity of the English Speaking world. It also focuses on a number of specific turning points in history where one person made a difference, the unstated message being "like me". The American first edition by Dodd Mead is not as nice a production as the English. The books are shorter and bound in grey cloth. Again, there are huge numbers of reprints and BOMC printings. The US firsts should have $6.00 prices on the dj flaps, red stained top page edges, no debossed dot on the rear cover, and correct dates on the title pages. Please note that the trade firsts DO have a statement on the dj flaps about the book being a BOMC selection.
Like
THE SECOND WORLD WAR, there was a deluxe Chartwell
Edition published by the Educational Book
Co. Ltd. The Canadian
edition is dervied from the US edition with
similar jacket design, but a more attractive binding
in dark blue cloth. There have also been numerous paperbacks
and abridged editions over the years. There was a nice
leather bound edition produced by the Easton Press in
1992.
There
were four excerpted works which are listed individually:
The American Civil War, Heroes of History, The Island
Race, and Joan of Arc.

description
[-]
In 1959, William Walton
was commissioned to compose music for the opening and closing credits
of a television series based on Winston Churchill's History of the
English-speaking Peoples. The resulting work, March for the History of
the English-speaking Peoples, was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra
in May of that year and later published by Oxford University Press.
However, the television project never materialized, and consequently Walton's
score, which might have become one of his more familiar among popular
audiences through television exposure, was all but forgotten. With the
moderate surge in popularity that Walton's
music enjoyed in the last decade of the twentieth century (due in no
small part to an effort by Chandos Records and the William Walton Trust
to have his complete works recorded), this and other little-known pieces
have become available for consideration.
Though not a particularly substantial work
(it lasts less than five minutes), the March for the History of the
English-speaking Peoples is nonetheless well crafted. The introductory
section contrasts a festive, brass-heavy fanfare with a lyrical passage
in the strings. The middle section takes on a ceremonial tone, with a
rhapsodic string and woodwind melody that swells into a grandiose tutti
section. An abrupt key change takes us back to the lively initial
material, while a dramatic rubato leads to a broadly orchestrated
rendering of the first section's lyrical second theme. This swells to a
magnificent maestoso that seems to suggest a joyful but solemn
conclusion; it is playfully undercut at the last minute by a final
return of the lively first theme, which carries us to the end of the
piece.
