📦 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 rule with no reason given and a shortcut everyone else is taking, a kindness that was never once thanked, a yoke snapped in half with rain coming, and a tray of cheeses spoiled through a girl’s own fault — four children learn to trust, to persevere, and to own what is theirs.
Set in richly imagined historical villages inspired by nineteenth-century Northern Europe, each novella celebrates trust, gratitude, perseverance, and ownership 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 Thin Ice
- The Little Cask
- The Snapped Yoke
- The Turned Cheeses
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.
