The Journeys Through Bookland series by Charles H. Sylvester (also available free - see links below) shall remain a continual source of research for me throughout the upcoming years. It is an important addition to those of serious study pursuits from the era of classic writings.
Referenced for personal research and historical clarity. I found this work of immense interest. The stories are full of life - amazing tales of struggles and the spirit of human persistence.
This work is one of my resources for personal writing and/or ghost authoring.
I found this work's contents helpful and inspiring.
Overall, this work is also a good resource for the researcher, enthusiast and historian.

One of our very very favorites!! We've slowly been reading through the series for years now, and we all still enjoy them. Beautiful collections of poems, myths, Bible stories, fairy tales, and excerpts from children's novels that we just all adore.

#1 in the series "Books Our Grandparents Read When They Were Children". A motley assortment of nursery rhymes, poems for children, fairy tales and other stories rooted in mythology.
