Free G.A. Henty books now available…

A friend of mine posted about this last night on Facebook.
  Just click on the book for a listing of books and you can find reviews listed there.
Amazon has G.A. Henty Historical novels now available for FREE download for the Kindle and I was able to get the first 4 that we were planning to use this fall. I was doing the happy dance ~ since one of them was going to cost me an extravagant amount of money.  I had decided that I wasn’t going to be able to get it, since that was way out of our budget.
~ but don’t worry ~ if you don’t have a Kindle, you can download the FREE Kindle for PC app for your computer and still get the wonderful benefit of these great books for your homeschool. 
And here’s a list of G.A. Henty books in chronological order. It will make planning your year using good historical literature easier…
