Again, a simplified retelling makes these easier to grasp than the more advanced translations your children might read in high school or college. ( Heritage History sells attractively formatted and affordable eBook versions of these as well as providing the entire texts, free online.) 4. There is a reason these three classics are called epics - they are still as enjoyable today as they were in the days of ancient Greece or Rome. Alfred Church’s Greek Classics retold for Boys and Girls: The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid Go ahead and enjoy him now with these stories. Don’t “save” Shakespeare for high school. Numbers one and two are both retellings which make Shakespeare’s plays accessible to elementary aged learners.

Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare by Edith NesbitĪt Main Lesson at Archive 2. All of these titles are ones that I have actually in our homeschool. I did not include in this list any of the books that are in the Top Ten Charlotte Mason Must Haves even though there are some public domain books in that list as well. Each spot will have a different format, so if you don’t like or can’t use the format which I’ve linked to, simply search for another version of it. Many of these titles can be found at various spots online such as Main Lesson, Gutenberg, Heritage History,, (audio) and Google Books. Best of all, because they are in the public domain, they are all free. These are books are untainted by modern political correctness and are rich in advanced vocabulary. I’m taking a living books approach and listing my ten favorite public domain titles for a Charlotte Mason homeschool.

The "feature" - promise - is nothing more than a deliberately-difficult run-around - as is the real-time "response" by Google to this complaint - intended foremost to frustrate so one either buys copy of the book, or stumbles around until one finds that one CANNOT download a copy of the "free" PUBLIC DOMAIN book.This post is part of the iHomeschool Network’s 10 in 10 link up. I complained about this long enough ago for it to be fixed by now but it is not: nothing ha changed: it is still exactly the same: the promise that one can download PDFs of PUBLIC DOMAIN books is a flat out lie. But it invariably stops shortly thereafter one is NOT able to download a PDF of such "free" PUBLIC DOMAIN texts. That button "works" in that it will begin the download. Search around enough and you might stumble another "Download PDF" button, hidden away at the bottom of a page totally unrealted to the idea of downloading a PDF of a PUBLIC DOMAIN BOOK. It once worked but it doesn't any longer.įind any "Free" PUBLIC DOMAIN book, then click on the iindicated "Download PDF" button - and nothing happens. To get started, just find any public domain book on Google Books and click on the Download button in the toolbar. We'll also continue to make available these books in the popular PDF format so you can see images of the pages just as they appear in the printed book. And because EPUB is a free, open standard supported by a growing ecosystem of digital reading devices, works you download from Google Books as EPUBs won't be tied to or locked into a particular device. EPUB is a lightweight text-based digital book format that allows the text to automatically conform (or "reflow") to these smaller screens. More people are turning to new reading devices to access digital books, and many such phones, netbooks, and e-ink readers have smaller screens that don't readily render image-based PDF versions of the books we've scanned.
By adding support for EPUB downloads, we're hoping to make these books more accessible by helping people around the world to find and read them in more places. I'm excited to announce that starting today, Google Books will offer free downloads of these and more than one million more public domain books in an additional format, EPUB.
