Yesterday’s Classics Ebook Package Sale!!!
Posted By Jennifer McBride on August 18, 2011
Yesterday’s Classics is a company that republishes classic books for children from the golden age of children’s literature, the era from 1880 to 1920. Many of the titles they offer have been out of print for decades and so have been hard to find until recently. Now they have also made their entire collection of 225 books available as e-books in both Kindle and E-pub format! These are beautifully formatted, complete with illustrations and table of contents. If you don’t have an e-reader you can still read or print the books from your computer.
From now, until Saturday, August 27th Yesterday’s Classics is offering their entire e-book package to our readers at a special sale price of $99.95! If you purchased all of the paperback editions of these books the total would come to $2,495.75! If you purchased each book in electronic format individually the total would come to $648.80! This is a wonderful opportunity to add a huge collection of wonderful children’s literature to a family library!
Though I have to admit I still much prefer to collect and read from printed books I am delighted to add these to our family collection. The ability to print the books and read them from multiple devices makes them extremely versatile, and the price makes it possible to have an incredible selection at your fingertips.
(Note: There are several books in the collection that I don’t intend to offer to my children as they don’t meet with some of the convictions we hold regarding reading material. However, this collection is so extensive that it is still wonderfully worthwile, even if some of the books never get read. )
We are thrilled to offer this sale to you right now as it blends beautifully with our theme for the rest of August; home schooling using the Charlotte Mason/Christian Classical methods which both rely heavily on real, “living” books, rather than textbooks.

I’m curious what it is about this time frame that produced superior books. I definitely agree there’s something lacking in much of children’s literature today. But I have not read much from this other time frame. What ideas or lifestyle changes or preferences caused the change in quality? Was it the authors themselves? A broader use of language and words? Or that today we’re more accustomed to the quick visual entertainment offered by “screen time” and that books have to be more flashy to keep up?
