📦 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.
Four historical novellas in one volume, grouped by reading level.
A terrified mare at a hot forge, a hungry man caught with two stolen loaves, a cold job nobody wants, and a full grain loft standing beside an empty one — four children learn that steadiness and mercy are chosen, not felt.
Set in richly imagined historical villages inspired by nineteenth-century Northern Europe, each novella celebrates steadiness, mercy, diligence, and generosity 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:
- The Frightened Mare
- The Thirteenth Loaf
- The Reed Bundle
- The Bare Loft
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.
