Summary "Little Arthur's History of England" by Lady Maria Callcott is an educational historical account intended for children, likely written in the early 19th century. The book presents the history of England in a format that aims to engage young minds, recounting the journey from ancient Britons through various significant events and figures, such as King Arthur and notable battles with the Romans and Saxons. The opening of this work introduces the narrative in a conversational tone directly addressing a child named Arthur, suggesting that it is tailored to younger audiences. The text begins with a description of the ancient Britons, outlining their simple living conditions, customs, and early struggles against invaders. It transitions into the arrival of the Romans, detailing the significant changes they brought, including improved living standards, the introduction of money, and the spread of Christianity. Through these initial chapters, the foundation is set for a comprehensive retelling of England's history, with a focus on the lessons learned and the values of patriotism and education that are essential for the upbringing of children.
