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.
