This site has nice collection of free on-line books that you can print or
read online. A couple I liked were:
Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling and
Best Stories to Tell to Children by Sarah Cone Bryant.
Also, you got to love a site that published the
Origin of the Species
by Charles Darwin to celebrate the recent legal
defeat of "Intelligent Design".
