This is broader in scope than what you're looking for, but David Crystal's Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language is not only authoritative but highly entertaining and beautifully illustrated. It's got a good section on history plus other sections she can read if her interest grows. I refer to it often.
I'm sure you'll get many more suggestions, so your problem will be choosing!
