📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Cornerstone Story Collection — Elementary, Volume 3
Four historical novellas in one volume, grouped by reading level.
When the well runs dry, an old mender seals the last course with shaking hands. A torn sack must be mended before the long walk home. A boy splits oak until he is judged ready for harder work. And a short rope makes for a very long day at the reed harvest.
Set in richly imagined historical villages inspired by nineteenth-century Northern Europe, each novella celebrates diligence, patience, and honest effort through engaging stories that families will enjoy reading again and again. These are quiet, thoughtful tales for young readers ready for substantial prose and characters who are trusted with real work.
This volume includes four complete novellas:
- Dry Well
- Torn Sack
- The Split Wood
- Short Rope, Long Day
Written for ages 8-11, these historical stories are ideal for strong independent readers in grades 3-5 and equally rewarding as family read-alouds — perfect for classical homeschool families seeking rich, character-forming historical fiction.
