However, not all let you download the books:nYou can also find free books at (some only allow you to read at their site ninstead of downloading):nBaldwin Online Children’s Literature Project nBringing Yesterday’s Classics to Today’s Children nhttp://www.mainlesson.com/nnnHeritage History nAnother site like Baldwin Project, only dedicated exclusively to children’s nhistory books nhttp://www.heritage-history.com/www/heritage.phpnnnChristian Classics Ethereal Library nFrom Calvin College, though loaded with lots of Church Fathers and Catholic nsaints.
